The obverse keeps Victory in bare sculpted copper against a pale field. She stands on a low plinth, wings spread, a laurel wreath raised in her right hand and broken chains held low in her left, her gown pressed into deep folds by the wind. Everything around her is painted. Two Quetzalcoatl serpents rise from the lower edge and curve up to face one another above her shoulders, jaws open and fanged, their scaled bodies banded in turquoise and gold with step-fret patterns along the back. Layered plumes in green, red, orange, and blue fill the entire background. COBRE PURO is stamped in the left field, 5 AVDP OUNCE in the right.
The reverse carries the Mexican coat of arms in raised copper. The eagle perches on a prickly pear cactus, wings spread wide, a serpent gripped in its beak and talon, with an oak and laurel wreath tied beneath. ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS arcs along the upper rim. The background behind the arms is filled with colorized scrollwork and serpent forms in red, teal, and gold, so the copper relief reads clean against the painted field.
The included certificate lists the weight, metal, and the 2,000-piece worldwide edition limit. Copper is measured in avoirdupois ounces rather than troy, which is standard for the metal. Keep the round capsuled to protect the color and slow natural patina.
