A green and black Republic of Ireland bond certificate for ten dollars dated January 21 1920 with the printed signatures of Eamon de Bhailéara (Éamon De Valera) President, and Seán ua Núnáin, registrar and numbered in red 183969.
During the year and a half he spent crisscrossing the United States, Éamon de Valera used ‘republican bonds’ as a method of fundraising. Raising close to $6 million, the bonds were powerful tools, legitimising the Irish Republic in the eyes of people at home and abroad. However, after the Civil War the issue of whom the money belonged to would prove contentious. This $10 bond is dated January 21st 1920 and was issued to a Mrs. Goode.
