AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Detailed Visual Description

This document is an old financial title, more precisely a bearer share issued by the public limited company LA RONITE. The visible side features typographical printing on paper, in light blue and dark blue tones, typical of early 20th-century stock market documents. The decorative frame with geometric patterns surrounds the document, highlighting its official and secure appearance. The header clearly mentions "LA RONITE" and "SOCIETE ANONYME" (public limited company).

The upper part of the certificate indicates the share value: "ACTION DE CENT FRANCS AU PORTEUR" (ONE HUNDRED FRANCS BEARER SHARE), with an individual numbering (visible here: N° 696,152). Several printed signatures are present, as well as red stamps attesting to the document's validation. The main text is accompanied by a central blue cartouche on a white background, typical of French shares and bonds from the 1920s.

The detachable lower part includes a series of numbered coupons, also printed in blue and each bearing the share number. These coupons are crossed with circular red stamps, attesting to their partial or total use. The entire document shows great printing clarity, with neat graphic elements and precise administrative details.

The paper shows a slight patina due to age, with no visible traces of moisture or tears on the displayed side. The edges are clean and the document's structure remains flat, with no apparent significant creases. The main inscriptions are perfectly legible, making it a beautiful example of French scripophily.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible side is well-preserved, with colors well-maintained, and no notable stains or tears. Some old handling marks may be observed on the edges.

Did you know? Bearer shares were commonly used in France until the 1980s. They allowed their holder to exercise financial rights without nominative mention, favoring discretion and ease of transfer. This practice was gradually abandoned for reasons of transparency and the fight against money laundering.
