This two-sided manuscript certificate is datelined "Consulate of the United States of America / La Guayra [20th] Nov 1834. La Guayra (also sometimes La Guayra or La Guaira) was the principal port of the recently established Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. A consulate seal is affixed. In nice shape. The front of the form reads in part: "I, J S McKaighen [?] acting Consul of the United States of America for the port of La Guayra, Do hereby Certify that the dollar Currency is equal in value to Eighty cents currency of the United States." The reverse contains an invoice that reads in part: "Sixty Four Bags Coffee shipped by Dallett & Boulton on board the brig James Coulter Young . . . for Philadelphia for Account and Risk of Wm Fairchild Esqre of said City and taken Consigned . . . $957.19" . La Guaira has been the gateway port to the city of Caracas since the 16th century. Today it is Venezuela s second most important port after Puerto Cabello. At the time of this certificate, coffee was the region s second most important export after sugar. Boulton, Dallet and Company was one of the principal foreign trading firms in Venezuela and primarily served the U. S. (For more information, see Berglund s "Mercantile Credit and Financing in Venezuela, 1830-1870" in the November 1985 issue of the Journal of Latin American Studies.) .
