AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage document is a genuine bearer share certificate issued by the Société Minière du Djebel Felten. As seen in the image, it is an authentic financial security, dated July 1, 1952, in Paris. The certificate features a wide decorative green border with stylized floral patterns, typical of antique French shares from the 20th century. The main title, "SOCIÉTÉ MINIÈRE DU DJEBEL FELTEN", is printed in capital letters, followed by the capital amount, the registered office in Paris (47, rue Vivienne), and the share value ("DEUX MILLE CINQ CENTS FRANCS").

The central part of the document includes printed signatures and an official red stamp bearing the initials "SA DVF". The print and paper exhibit an age-appropriate patina, with a slightly yellowed appearance visible on the edges, testifying to the certificate's age. The share number visible in the photo is 014930, which reinforces its unique and historical character.

On the right side of the document, there is a series of detachable numbered coupons, each mentioning the company, the share number, and the word "COUPON" followed by a number. Several coupons also bear a red stamp, proving their authenticity. The coupons are printed in the same green shade as the main border, with a consistent graphic style typical of French post-war shares.

The typography used, the style of the border, the signatures, and the format of the certificate are characteristic of French financial documents from the mid-20th century. No specific material is mentioned, but the visual appearance suggests thick, quality paper, typical of this type of issue.

The document is displayed open, resting on a varnished wooden piece of furniture, which allows for a good appreciation of the details of the inscriptions and coupons. The legible texts, stamps, and general presentation are perfectly suited for display in an office, framing, or wall decoration on the theme of economic history or vintage administrative design.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Some signs of wear and slight age-related marks are visible on the paper, with no major apparent tears on the displayed side. The inscriptions, signatures, and stamps remain clear and legible.

Did you know? Bearer shares were very common in France until the end of the 20th century. They allowed their holder to exercise financial rights without their identity being registered in the company's records. Since 2017, the holding of bearer shares has been abolished in France to strengthen financial market transparency.
