| Opmerkingen |
Lajos Kossuth arrived in the United States in December 1851 to enormous public enthusiasm and immediately began raising funds for a Hungarian military campaign against Habsburg rule. These notes, authorized under the Hungarian Fund and printed by the highly regarded Philadelphia and New York security printer Danforth, Bald & Co., were intended as pre-revolutionary bonds — promises of repayment once a liberated Hungary could back them with a functioning treasury. That treasury never materialized.
The scheme collapsed quickly. U.S. federal authorities, under pressure not to antagonize Austria, moved to suppress the issue, and most notes were never placed into meaningful circulation. Kossuth left America in 1852 largely empty-handed.
