Translation help needed

This is on a Cuban 50 peso note I got. I know it's not the most appropriate place to post this but I figured I'd have the best shot of getting a translation with you guys. Thanks.

    guaranted by gold , foreign exchange ( first line ...the peso was pegged to the us dollar at that time)

    convertible to gold and all other orders of the Cuban national bank ( second line.."activos" is a hard word to translate ...)

    this bill constitutes a legal obligation of the cuban estate ( third line)

    ---

    this bill is legal tender according to the law for all payments made on national territory

    ( the last is basically that just much longer and fancier)

    In that case, I would translate "activos" as "instruments," as in "financial instruments." And I think the third line should read "Cuban state" at the end.

    Absolutely. I didn't want to post it right off the bat cause I wasn't sure how this OT thread was going to be received. But, since you ask image
