Obviously this issue was insufficient as a second issue was made, dated 5 January 1914. The three lower values ($1, $2 and $5) and the $50 note were again printed by the Tipografia C. Montauriol, of Torreón, but another $5 note and a $10 and $20 note, all with a slightly different typeface, were produced by the Tipografia S. de la Pena in Saltillo.

According to a newspaper article written thirty years later in 1914 the Banco de la Laguna issued $1,187,474 in cheques drawn on the Banco de Coahuila El Siglo de Torreón,11 October 1943.
The Siglo de Torreón article also mentions a terrible counterfeiting of these cheques and said that the Banco de la Laguna could easily identify the counterfeits because of the contraseñas it had placed on the notes before issue El Siglo de Torreón,11 October 1943. Presumably it was because of the existence of counterfeits that an additional overprint 'Bueno solamente con el sello del Banco y la firma en facsímile del Sub-Gerente', the stamp of the bank and the signature of Mauro de la Peña were applied to some notes.
