Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, Arquitechtura Moral Lodge of Mexico City, and Francisco I. Madero, Lealtad Lodge 15 of Mexico City, led Mexican revolutions exactly a century apart. Both, considered heroes and freedom fighters, were jointly honored when Mexico issued a silver 20 peso coin in 1960, bearing their likenesses. Brother Madero became President of Mexico for a short time but was overthrown in a counter-revolution. He was captured and executed in 1913 while "attempting to escape." Brother Hidalgo faced a firing squad in 1811. The government beheaded his body after his execution, impaled his head on a stake and, as a warning to other insurgents, left it on public display for ten years!
