50 Pesos El Estado Libre y Soberano de Sinaloa

Sinaloa was one of several Mexican states that issued its own emergency currency during the Constitutional period of the Revolution — a moment when federal authority had collapsed and regional military governors needed to pay troops and move supplies. These state-level emissions were often printed quickly, with limited security features, and circulated in a geographically constrained area before federal consolidation rendered them worthless.

P#S1047 sits at the higher end of the Sinaloa series denominations, which typically increases the likelihood of hoarding over active use. Redemption was never guaranteed for most state issues of this period.
