The obverse is printed in dark black ink on cream-toned paper with a salmon-pink underprint. A typographic border runs along all four edges, repeating the denomination legend 'CINCO 5 PESOS' in small letterpress text. To the left, a classical allegorical vignette depicts a standing female figure holding a staff and a bunch of keys, accompanied by a heron in the foreground against a landscape backdrop. The central field carries the bold script title 'El Estado de Durango' above the promise-to-pay legend in ornate calligraphic lettering, with the denomination value 'CINCO 5 PESOS' set within a dark cartouche at center-right. Three manuscript signatures appear at the bottom, attributed to the Secretario Interino, the Gobernador, and the Director General de Rentas, with the date 'AGOSTO DE 1914' printed at upper right. |

The reverse is printed entirely in dark grey-black ink on cream paper, with no colored underprint. The design consists of an elaborate guilloche border enclosing the full field, with repeating wavy-line patterns and numeral '5' corner ornaments set within shield-shaped cartouches at each corner. The central area is left plain and carries a four-line handwritten-style italic text block containing the authorization clause, set against the unprinted paper background. |

Durango's state government issued its own emergency currency in 1914 as Revolutionary forces fractured central banking authority across Mexico. The Constitutionalist uprising against Huerta had effectively severed Durango from Federal monetary supply, and local authorities — like dozens of other Mexican states that year — printed their own notes to meet payroll and commerce.
The S-prefixed Pick number places this firmly in the Mexican Revolutionary provisional issues, a category notorious for wide variation in print quality, paper stock, and even denomination spelling across successive runs. Forgeries circulated alongside genuine issues during and after the Revolution, complicating authentication ever since.
