Spain. 1 1906

This sixth and fascinating document from your collection is a "Segunda de Cambio" (Seconda di cambio) bancaria commerciale issued in Havana (Cuba) on June 24, 1906. The title bears the elegant two-tone heading (brown and black) of the private banking house "Maribona, Garcia y C.ª", active in the commercial heart of Cuba at the time. It is a precious testimony of Caribbean scripophily dating from the very early years of the independent Cuban Republic. # Description and analysis of the document * The Financial Transaction: Routed with serial number 521, the promissory note orders payment "a días vista" of the amount of 177 Pesos and 80 cents ("Por $177.80"), indicated in the top left box and handwritten in the main text. * The Transatlantic Flow: The instrument is issued in favor of the beneficiary Don Cándido Carbon [image_nv4UNj.png]. The collection is directed to Spain to the firm "Sres. Viuda e Hijos de Alvarez Cueva" located in Pravia (Asturias). This piece perfectly closes the historical circle with the documents in your collection, confirming how the same Asturian business house received regular remittances from several banks in Havana. * Stamps and Signatures: At the top, above the name of the bank, is stamped the official blue oval security stamp of the issuing institution: "Maribona, Garcia y C.ª - Habana". At the bottom left are the brown ink calligraphic signatures of the bankers and the company’s attorneys. * The Prestigious Printing: On the left margin is engraved the signature of the historic American type foundry that produced the form: "Perry & Co. N.Y.". The background features a dense micro-engraved geometric security pattern designed to prevent counterfeiting. * The Back: It shows very clearly the autograph signature for acceptance and endorsement by the beneficiary Cándido Carbon. # Important figures and historical context 1. Maribona, Garcia y C.ª: This banking firm (with its historic address listed on the title as "Ricla 11 y Cuba 98", Old Havana) was run by bankers of Spanish origin and specialized in the delicate exchange market and the transfer of capital to the Iberian Peninsula. 2. The firm "Viuda e Hijos de Alvarez Cueva": This recurring presence from Pravia demonstrates the financial power of this particular Asturian family, capable of centralizing the remittances of many emigrants in the Caribbean. # Commercial value estimate Early-20th-century Cuban bank titles issued by less-common private houses (like Maribona, Garcia y C.ª) and printed by the historic New York engraving houses have an excellent collecting market. The condition is excellent: the paper retains its natural age-related texture, the stamps are sharp, and there are no missing pieces or destructive tears [image_nv4UNj.png]. * Estimated document value: Stably between €60 and €100. * Prized elements: The early date (1906), the engraver Perry of New York, the clearly legible Old Havana address, and the continuous biographical link with the migration flow to Asturias all contribute to its strong position in the international scripophily market.
