| Obverse description | Black intaglio print on white paper with intricate guilloche border. Two oval portrait vignettes frame the centre: a bearded gentleman to the left and a mustachioed gentleman to the right, each set within fine lathe-work surrounds. The centre carries an elaborate ornamental guilloche medallion bearing the numeral '1' and the legend 'UNO', surmounted by the bold arched title 'EL ESTADO DE SONORA' and the promise text 'PAGARÁ AL PORTADOR EN EFECTIVO'; red serial numbers appear at upper left and right, with 'SÉRIE C' printed in red on both sides of the central vignette. Four facsimile signatures appear along the lower margin above the printer's imprint 'American Bank Note Co. New York'. |

| Reverse description | Printed in green intaglio on white paper with a dense guilloche border and corner ornaments. The central vignette carries the Mexican national coat of arms — an eagle perched on a cactus with a serpent in its beak — enclosed within a circular legend reading '* REPUBLICA MEXICANA * GOBIERNO DEL ESTADO LIBRE Y SOBERANO DE SONORA'. Flanking the central medallion are two symmetrical guilloche panels each bearing the numeral '1' within the word 'UNO'; the denomination 'ESTADO DE SONORA' appears in a banner at the foot, with the printer's imprint 'AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY, NEW YORK.' below. A red circular cancellation stamp is visible at upper left. |
