The dos caritas
Because the sábanas were being counterfeited and people were reluctant to handle them the Villistas recognised the need for a more sophisticated issue. These so-called dos caritas bear the portraits of the martyred Francisco Madero and Abraham González on the face and a view of the Government Palace in Chihuahua on the reverse1. They were supposedly authorised by a military decree dated 10 February 1914 though no record of the decree remains.
