Description

Old financial certificate visible in the photo, this is a capital share issued by the Société de Culture de Pacouda, a Dutch public limited company, dating from the 1920s. This document features an aesthetic typical of interwar securities: large olive green ornamental frame, stylized geometric and floral patterns, coat of arms at the top center, and classic serif typography.

The center of the document clearly shows the mention "CAPITAL SHARE" with the value "60 florins fully paid up", the share number "23556" and the total share capital "2,600,000 Florins". Several handwritten signatures and purple stamps are clearly visible, adding to the authenticity and historical character of the piece.

On the right side, the sheet features a set of detachable numbered coupons, each bearing the mention "Capital Share No 23556" and period indications. These original, undissociated coupons enhance the decorative and heritage interest of the document.

The sheet has a matte finish, with thick paper that is slightly yellowed by time, typical of old documents. The printing is done in two main tones: olive green for the frame and black for the text, enhanced with a cream background. The fine engraving and graphic details testify to careful printing work, attributed at the bottom to "E. Smeets & Co, Amsterdam".

The visible side shows no tears or marked folds, but there are slight traces of handling and a patina of use, giving the whole an authentic charm of a period object. The central ornamentation and the arrangement of the coupons are characteristic of financial securities from the early 20th century.

Condition

Did you know? Bearer shares such as this one were once common to materialize ownership of a portion of a company's capital. Their ornamental, often elaborate, format aimed to reinforce investor confidence and combat counterfeiting. Many old securities are now sought after for their decorative and historical interest, testifying to the economic vitality of the 1920s.
