The obverse of the banknote displays a portrait of José María Morelos y Pavón, a prominent leader in Mexico's War of Independence, accompanied by symbols such as a stylized butterfly, crossed cannons, and a bow and arrow. The reverse features the aqueduct of Morelia in Michoacán, along with images of the viceroy butterfly (Limenitis archippus).
