European Shares And Bonds (Non-US)

Picked up another Soviet-era loan certificate, from 1982. Not as ornate as my other one, it does have a nice cccp/star watermark running through it.

I can't say for certain, Jay, but I'm pretty sure the German Weimar Republic bonds were demonetized before WWII. That one appears to be from 1930.

Interesting!

Here's another foreign bond, though not European. I don't generally collect these because they aren't usually engraved -- but this one is! And it checks off a number of features I really like: a lovely "A" initial cap in the company names, beautiful ornamental frame, nice vignettes of a trolley and a historic cityscape of Buenos Aires. There's even a second city vignette of Plaza Lavalle on the back. What's not to like!

Lovely item GregAlex, some beautiful artwork on that.

I picked up 3 more Communist-era government loan bond/certificates recently, this time from Bulgaria.
They're quite crudely printed, showing little vignettes of working life in communist Bulgaria.

Let's give this a bump with a Dutch stock. I won't begin to try and type the company name but it was the subsidiary of Philips Electronics in the Netherlands. Back when vacuum tubes were still in style.
