The document features a blue geometric patterned cover, framing the text \"Action de Cent Francs au porteur\" (Bearer Share of One Hundred Francs) and a distinctly printed share number. The ivory to slightly yellowed paper reveals a fine texture typical of administrative prints from the early 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the right side of the document, there is a series of detachable coupons, arranged in a regular grid. Each coupon bears the mention \"ENZEL Société Anonyme\" (ENZEL Limited Company) as well as the share number N°010178, repeated on each section. Round red stamps are partially affixed to the coupons, indicating their validation or a dividend payment. The inscriptions are printed in blue, with an elegant and classic period typeface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe open presentation of the document allows for observation of the complete inner face, with no indication of the reverse side or the outside of the booklet. The format, although not specified, is typical of old financial documents, with decorated margins and a careful layout. The whole is placed on a wooden support, highlighting the light tone of the paper and the sharpness of the prints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGraphic elements include a star-patterned border around the main frame and discreet watermarks, characteristic of securities from that era. No handwritten elements are visible on the presented face. The overall condition appears good, with light age-related marks, no tears or major signs of alteration apparent in the photo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis type of document, also called a financial security or stock certificate, constituted proof of ownership of a share of a company's capital. The detachable coupons were used to collect annual dividends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.

They allowed their holder to remain anonymous to the issuing company, unlike registered shares. The attached coupons were detached when dividends were paid, which explains their presence on many old, not fully used certificates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAFW Reassurance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCareful packaging and fast shipping ensured by a professional seller.
