| Obverse description | Crudely hand-stamped design occupying the central field, depicting a stylized Mexican eagle perched on a cactus and devouring a serpent, rendered in a rough, primitive manner characteristic of emergency Revolutionary-period coinage. The design is executed with uneven depth and irregular outlines, reflecting the improvised nature of its production. Below the eagle motif, in the lower central field, appear the hand-stamped initials 'RM' in bold Latin capitals, identifying the Amecameca mint. The surrounding field is plain and unadorned, showing the characteristic surface texture of a cast brass planchet. |

| Reverse description | Plain brass field bearing a boldly hand-stamped denomination indicator centrally placed, consisting of a large numeral '5' in the upper field and a stylized cent symbol 'C' with a vertical stroke below, together denoting the face value of five centavos. The execution is crude and characteristic of emergency token coinage produced during the Mexican Revolution, with visible tool marks and uneven impression depth across the flat, unadorned field. No additional legend, border, or ornamental device is present. |
