1147. 1865-67 Fenian Rising, The Irish Republic Ten Dollars Bond Rare issued note to John Dee, dated March 30th, 1866 and signed by John O'Mahony. Recess printed by Continental Bank Note Co.
14 by 25cm., 5.5 by 9.7in. Three color ink on paper, framed under glass, overall apprx 11-1/4" x 15-1/2". These bonds were issued in America to fund the Fenian Rising of 1867 and were "redeemable six months after the acknowledgement of the Independence of the Irish Nation". They were intended to raise funds and finance attacks against British interests, worldwide. An attempted invasion of Canada took place in 1867. They were redeemed almost eighty years later when Eamon De Valera called in the Fenian bonds. Any outstanding bonds were thereafter valued only as collectibles, which today rarely show up at auction. John O'Mahony was born in 1816, near Mitchelstown, County Cork, and died Feb. 6, 1877. He was an Irish nationalist leader, who fled to New York in 1853 where he founded and led (1858 - 66) the Fenians. By 1865, the American Fenian group had become large and prosperous and was sending money and arms to Ireland. O'Mahony reluctantly backed the Irish Fenians' decision to stage military raids in Canada against the British; part of a scheme to hold Canada hostage for the cause of Irish freedom. The raids failed and he resigned but he was later called out of retirement (1872 - 77). 500/800 Sold: $460.00 |
