Rare 20th-Century Cuban Football Bond – Club Deportivo Hispano América. This historic mortgage bond from Club Deportivo Hispano América, a Cuban football club, is a rare and visually striking piece of sports and financial memorabilia. Issued for 20 pesos, it was part of a larger 40,000-peso fundraising effort to support the club’s development. The document features an elegant green patterned border, an official club flag emblem in gold and blue, and a detailed coupon sheet for periodic interest payments. The signatures and embossed seal further enhance its authenticity.
Cuban football, while overshadowed by baseball, had a passionate following in the early to mid-20th century. Clubs like Hispano América played a key role in fostering the sport within the country’s sporting culture. This bond represents a significant era in Cuban sports history, just before major political and economic changes reshaped the island.
A remarkable collectible for enthusiasts of vintage football memorabilia, Latin American sports history, and rare financial documents, this bond is an extraordinary artifact of a now largely forgotten era in Cuban football. An essential addition for serious collectors of historical scripophily and sports ephemera!
