| Obverse description | Dark green and yellow intaglio-printed note with an elaborate guilloche border running the full perimeter. A central vignette presents a finely engraved street-level view of the Banco de Durango building, a two-storey neoclassical structure with arched windows and pedestrians in the foreground. Large denomination numerals "500" appear in ornate rosette panels at left and right, with "Serie A" noted beneath each, and four signature lines for Gerente, Consejero, Interventor del Gobierno, and Cajero running along the lower margin above the printer's imprint. |

| Reverse description | Entirely engraved in dark green on a plain ground, the reverse is dominated by three large guilloche rosette panels each bearing the numeral "500", with the central panel set within a bold geometric diamond-shaped frame. Fine lathe-work engine-turning fills all surrounding areas, creating a dense, intricate pattern throughout. The legend "BANCO" appears at the top centre and "DE DURANGO" at the bottom centre, with the printer's imprint "AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY, NEW YORK." along the lower margin. |
| Reverse lettering | BANCO DE DURANGO 500 AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY, NEW YORK. (Translation: BANK OF DURANGO 500) |
