All seals depict an eagle defeating a rattlesnake as a standard element, symbolizing Mexico's triumph over foreign dominance.

The inscriptions describe the coin’s weight, metal content, year of issuance, and purity: “1 ONZA ORO PURO,” “2024,” and “LEY .999.” The "M" mint mark aside indicates the Mexican Mint issuance.
