Reverse description Uniformly engraved in green ink, the reverse centres on a circular guilloche medallion enclosing the Mexican national coat of arms — an eagle perched on a cactus with a serpent in its beak — surrounded by the circular legend of the issuing authority. Large numeral "20" counters appear to the left and right within elaborate lathe-work rosette frames, while the denomination "VEINTE PESOS" is set in a cartouche along the lower border, flanked by "20" numerals; the imprint of the American Bank Note Company appears beneath. The title "ESTADO DE SONORA" is inscribed in a ruled panel at the top.
