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.

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.
that was good ..i couldnt get the right word.
i meant state ..ooops.
can we see the whole bill?
