Design
Obverse. Within a laurel wreath in four lines, 10 | CENT | (date) | (mint mark).

Reverse. An imperially crowned Mexican eagle, with serpent in his beak, and standing on a nopal of ten leaves, two branches of olive below. Legend: above, IMPERIO MEXICANO; I have seen specimens from the mints of Guanaxuato, Mexico and Potosí of 1864 and 1865, of Zacatecas struck in 1865, and of Mexico struck in 1866. I have not noticed any of other dates or mints, but there are doubtless others. Rims dentilated. Edge the same as 1866-M° Maximilian Twenty Pesos.
