Veracruz is Mexico's main port on the Gulf of Mexico and one of the most strategic places in the country's history, from Hernán Cortés's landing in 1519 to the American interventions of 1914. This municipal bono of $100 (Letra C, No. 3108), issued in Xalapa (capital of the State of Veracruz) on 1 January 1907, has the distinctive feature of having the Bankers Trust Company of New York as its financial agent, bearing witness to the close relations between Mexican finance and North American capitalism under the Porfiriato. The document is trilingual Spanish/English/French, designed for an international audience. Bankers Trust, founded in 1903, was one of the most dynamic financial institutions in New York at the beginning of the 20th century, specializing in asset management and international operations. This modest-denomination bono ($100) was accessible to a wide public of investors. Veracruz's value as a symbol of Mexican history gives this document an additional historical dimension
