| Reverse description | The silver centre displays the oval coat of arms of the State of Sinaloa, quartered and surmounted by a pelican with wings displayed; the shield is inscribed SINALOA at the top and bears the founding date 1831 at the base, with a decorative cartouche below containing a motto scroll. The mint mark Mo appears to the left of the central device and the date 2004 to the right, both incused in the silver field. The aluminium bronze outer ring carries the legend ESTADO DE SINALOA arcing along the upper periphery, with a row of raised beads forming an inner border around the full circumference, and the denomination $100 appears in bold relief at the base of the ring. |

| Additional information |
The 100 Pesos bimetallic commemorative series, launched by Banco de México in 2003, honored each of the country's 31 states plus the Federal District with individual silver-centered issues — one of the most ambitious regional commemorative programs undertaken by any Latin American central bank. Sinaloa's place in the series reflects the state's formal incorporation into the Mexican federation in 1830, though its pre-Columbian and colonial history stretch considerably further back.
The .925 silver centres were struck separately before insertion into the aluminium bronze rings, a production sequence that occasionally left minor collar marks at the join — worth examining on any example before grading.
