Description

Authentic old share certificate issued by the Compagnie Minière du Plateau Central, visible on the front. This "founder's bearer share" certificate features blue printing on cream paper, typical of the 1920s. The wide border, finely decorated with geometric patterns, frames the central text and the various authentication elements. The main inscription is surmounted by the company name in capital letters, with the share type highlighted in intense blue on a white background.

The lower part of the document is occupied by a series of detachable coupons, each bearing the company name, the share number (003477), and round red stamps attesting to its authenticity and use. The document is printed on fine-weave paper, with a visually smooth texture and a slight patina visible on the edges.

The handwritten signature and dated stamp (visible in the central area) reinforce the official nature of this financial instrument. The coupons, arranged in a regular grid, are all numbered, and some show signs of handling or stamping, indicating effective circulation in the past.

The graphic style, typography, and layout clearly evoke the French administrative aesthetic of the 1920s, with a dominant blue color and printed security elements to limit counterfeiting. No reverse side is visible in the photo. The overall condition shows slight fold marks and good color preservation, with no apparent tears.

Condition

Did you know? Bearer shares, like this one, were common in the early 20th century. They allowed the holder to remain anonymous while benefiting from the financial rights associated with the share, which explains their popularity before the widespread use of registered shares.
