| Obverse lettering | El Banco de Durango pagará á la vista al portador en moneda de plata Cincuenta Pesos (Translation: The Bank of Durango will pay the bearer with silver coins Fifty Pesos) |
| Reverse description | Printed in green with red seals, the reverse is dominated by a central architectural guilloche arch enclosing the large numeral '50', flanked symmetrically by two allegorical female busts set within ornate circular frames, each accompanied by a phoenix-like bird. Intricate lathe-work and geometric guilloche patterns fill the remaining field, with the denomination 'CINCUENTA' lettered below the central vignette and 'BANCO DE DURANGO' arched across the top. The imprint of the American Bank Note Company, New York, appears in small text at the lower margin. |
