Ornate partly-printed DS, with engravings depicting three of Santa Anna's properties which he was mortgaging, signed “A. L. de S.ta Anna,” one page, 18.5 x 13.5, June 28, 1866. Attractive unissued United States $500 first mortgage bond, signed at the bottom in black ink by Santa Anna, with his cipher monogram embossed orange seal next to his signature, and countersigned by two trustees. In fine condition, with intersecting storage folds, and some light creasing and wrinkling. Upon his exile in 1855 to the United States, Santa Anna suffered financial difficulties. He was swindled out of most of his fortune by persons who claimed to be able to help him return to Mexico, citing their influence with the State Department. Virtually broke, Santa Anna resorted to issuing mortgage bonds like this one on his properties to raise capital. The Robert Davis Collection.
