A the center of the plate, flanked by the images of Hernan Cortes and Moctezuma, is a night scene of an enormous palace. At the forefront is a monkey-esque statuette.
Printed in red ink is a coat of arms with a flory-styled cross beneath a chief with three buckles upon it. At the helm is a knight's helmet surrounded by mantling. Beneath the mantling, to the left, is a medal of honor. At the crest is a large dog's head.
