$20 sábanas
The sequence appears to have been as follows. First, 'NUM.' with two large signatures.
Series letter | Imprint | Abbreviation | Size of numbers (left, right) | Type of seal on reverse |
---|---|---|---|---|
A | IMP. DEL GOBIERNO. CHIH. | NUM. | large, large | black |
The 'NUM.' with a printed (rather than stamped) seal on the back is a counterfeit (see Counterfeit $20 sábanas Type 1), even though they are known with resellos.
Then 'No.' was added to the numbering machine.
Series letter | Imprint | Abbreviation | Size of numbers (left, right) | Type of seal on reverse |
---|---|---|---|---|
A | IMP. DEL GOBIERNO. CHIH. | No. NUM. | large, large | black |
purple |
Finally, 'NUM.' was removed from the plate and 'No. No.' added to the numbering machine.
Series letter | Imprint | Abbreviation | Size of numbers (left, right) | Type of seal on reverse |
---|---|---|---|---|
A | IMP. DEL GOBIERNO. CHIH. | No. No. | large, large | black |
purple |
These 'No. No.' notes are known both with and without a dot after 'GOBIERNO' in the printer's imprint, presumably from different positions on the page.
Some notes have the left flourish of the letter 'S' filled in. These notes are known with a variety of resellos and with the 'REVALIDADO' revalidation, so might be a genuine variation but are more likely to be counterfeit (see Counterfeit Type 5). Such notes are known with the misprint 'VIENTE' for 'VEINTE'.
