| 正面描述 | The obverse centres on an allegorical vignette of three classically robed female figures, one bearing a flag, flanked to the left by a standing uniformed soldier and to the right by a seated female figure with a globe; ornate guilloche rosettes fill each corner, with a large roman numeral 'X' at upper left and '10' at upper right. The bold legend 'HUNGARIAN FUND' arches across the centre above an extended English-language promise-to-pay text referencing the Independent Hungarian Government, dated at New York, 2nd February 1852, with a manuscript signature at lower right. The overall impression is consistent with an engraved trial printing executed by Danforth, Bald & Co. |

Kossuth's exile issue. After the failed 1848–49 revolution, Lajos Kossuth traveled to the United States and arranged the printing of these notes in New York — not as a functioning currency, but as a fundraising and propaganda instrument intended to finance a future insurrection against Habsburg rule. The "Independent Hungarian Government" had no territory, no treasury, and no legal standing at the time of printing.
Danforth, Bald & Co. were among the most reputable security printers in antebellum America, which lent the notes a convincing institutional appearance. The U.S. government ultimately warned that issuing such instruments might violate neutrality laws, and the scheme collapsed before the notes ever circulated in Hungary.
