Obverse. Bust in profile same as "Large Head", the head not so large, and the chin not so double; the whiskers are omitted and the point of the bust nearly touches the last letter of the legend; mint-mark and date as "Large Head". Legend: (beginning to left at bottom) AUGUSTINUS DEI PROVIDENTIA.

Reverse. Imperially crowned eagle very similar to "Large Head", but smaller; the nopal has but eight leaves. Legend: Same precisely as "Large Head" except in the form of the letters. Rims serrated.
