Miers-Alvignac is a commune in the Lot department, in the Quercy region, home to ferruginous mineral springs known for their therapeutic properties, primarily in treating digestive conditions. The SA du Palace-Hotel et de l'Éden-Casino de Miers-Alvignac was founded to operate a complete spa resort including a prestige hotel and a casino. This bearer share N°0,002 of 100 francs is the second share ever issued by the company, making it a near-founding document of strong symbolic value. The company, whose Parisian office was at 24 Boulevard des Capucines : one of the most fashionable thoroughfares of the 9th arrondissement, relied on statutes filed by Maître Léonce Orliac, Notary in Gramat (Lot), on 1 March 1912. The choice of a Boulevard des Capucines address in Paris for a Quercy spa resort illustrates the prestige strategy adopted by the founders to attract Parisian investors. Printed by the Chaix printing house of Paris. The N°0,002 gives this document the character of a "founding piece" particularly sought after by collectors.
