Summary edit

Description
English: Bond for 100 pesos to finance the uprising against the colonial regime of Spain in Cuba, issued on 1 June 1869 in New York by the Cuban government in exile, signed in the original by José Morales Lemus as President of the Junta Central Republicana de Cuba y Puerto Rico. The Liberty Bond, which carried an interest rate of 6%, was only due if the rebellion succeeded in freeing Cuba from Spanish foreign rule. The Cuban independence fighter José Morales Lemus (1808-1870) was a wealthy lawyer and businessman. In 1866, he led a delegation of reformists who travelled to Madrid to negotiate with the Spanish government. After these efforts failed, he sided with the plantation owners who started the Ten Years War (1868-1878). After fleeing Cuba, he became president of the Cuban government-in-exile in New York.
Deutsch: Anleihe über 100 Pesos zur Finanzierung des Aufstandes auf Kuba gegen die Kolonialmacht Spanien, ausgegeben am 1. Juni 1869 in New York von der kubanischen Exilregierung, im Original unterschrieben von José Morales Lemus als Präsident der Junta Central Republicana de Cuba y Puerto Rico. Die mit 6 % verzinste Freiheitsanleihe wurde erst fällig, wenn es dem Aufstand gelingen sollte, Kuba von der spanischen Fremdherrschaft zu befreien. Der kubanische Unabhängigkeitskämpfer José Morales Lemus (1808-1870) war ein wohlhabender Anwalt und Geschäftsmann. Im Jahr 1866 führte er eine Delegation von Reformisten an, die nach Madrid reisten, um mit der spanischen Regierung zu verhandeln. Nachdem diese Bemühungen gescheitert waren, schlug er sich auf die Seite der Plantagenbesitzer, die den Zehnjährigen Krieg (1868-1878) auslösten. Nach seiner Flucht aus Kuba, wurde er in New York Präsident der kubanischen Exilregierung.

El Bono de la Libertad, que devengaba un interés del 6%, sólo era pagadero si la rebelión lograba liberar a Cuba del dominio extranjero español. El independentista cubano José Morales Lemus (1808-1870) era un acaudalado abogado y hombre de negocios. En 1866 encabezó una delegación de reformistas que viajó a Madrid para negociar con el gobierno español. Tras el fracaso de estas gestiones, se puso del lado de los propietarios de plantaciones, que iniciaron la Guerra de los Diez Años (1868-1878). Tras huir de Cuba, se convirtió en presidente del gobierno cubano en el exilio en Nueva York.
