Fenian Bonds were issued by the Irish Republican Brotherhood beginning in 1866, authorized by the "Irish Republic" government-in-exile, and sold almost exclusively to Irish diaspora communities in the United States. They were not currency in any functional sense — they were subscriptions to a revolutionary cause, redeemable in theory after Irish independence was achieved. That independence never came on the IRB's terms, and the bonds were never honored.
The American Bank Note Company's involvement gave them a veneer of financial legitimacy that was entirely deliberate. Buyers knew the risk; the instrument was as much a political statement as an investment. The 1919 upper date reflects the extended sales window, well past the 1867 rising that was meant to trigger their redemption.
