| 表面の説明 | Green and black intaglio-printed bond note headed 'THIS NATIONAL BOND' and 'REPUBLIC OF IRELAND' in bold Gothic lettering across the upper field. The central vignette shows a standing figure of Hibernia or an Irish patriot in military dress, flanked left and right by ornate guilloche rosettes bearing the numeral '10'; two portrait medallions — one at lower left depicting a uniformed military figure, the other at lower right depicting a civilian in formal dress — appear within finely engraved oval frames. The lower portion carries the denomination 'TEN DOLLARS' in letterpress text between decorative borders, with two manuscript signatures and a printed date below. |

| 裏面の説明 | The reverse is printed entirely in green with a dense, repetitive pattern of fourteen large interlocking guilloche rosettes arranged in two rows across the full field, each rosette containing a finely lathe-worked geometric starburst design. The legend 'Republic of Ireland' is set in ornate script lettering centred in the middle of the composition, integrated within the guilloche background. |

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.
