| Obverse description | Black letterpress print on cream paper with a repeating guilloche border reading 'UN PESO' around all four edges. A vignette at left shows a standing allegorical female figure holding a flag and a staff, with a bird and landscape in the background. The large italic script title 'El Estado de Durango' dominates the upper centre, below which the promise-to-pay text and denomination panel 'UN 1 PESO' appear in a dark cartouche. Three manuscript signatures appear at the bottom under the titles El Secretario Interino, El Gobernador, and El Director General de Rentas, with the place and date 'Durango, Enero de 1914' and series designation in red at the top. |

| Obverse lettering | El Estado de Durango pagará al portador la cantidad de un peso Durango. Serie H. Enero de 1914. UN PESO El Secretario Interino. El Gobernador. El Director Gral. de Rentas. (Translation: The State of Durango will pay the bearer the amount of one peso / Durango. Series H. January 1914. / ONE PESO / The Acting Secretary. The Governor. The Director General of Revenue.) |
| Reverse description | Printed entirely in green, the reverse presents a dense guilloche framework forming an outer border with four corner medallions each enclosing the numeral '1'. A wide central panel of lighter guilloche underprint serves as background to four lines of cursive script text stating the authorization of the issue by the First Chief of the Constitutionalist Army and its convertibility at par. The overall design is austere, relying solely on lathe-work patterns and the central text block with no pictorial vignette. |
