This bearer share of 150 francs of the Continental Opéra company, whose head office was set at 32 rue Louis-le-Grand in Paris (7002), embodies the prestigious Parisian real estate sector around the Opéra district. A public limited company with a substantial initial capital, Continental Opéra operated properties located in one of the most sought-after arrondissements of the capital.

The certificate is presented in an elegant blue cartouche framed with rules, with the mention "Stub of the 150-Franc Bearer Share" in side boxes. It bears the number 000595 and retains the entirety of its numbered, undetached coupon sheet, which is a major asset for collectors. Two handwritten signatures of directors, including "R. de Verdane". Fully paid-up share.

Apparent condition very good, clean paper, fresh inks, coupons intact. The relatively more modern character of this certificate (clean 1960s-1970s graphic design) will appeal to collectors of post-war scripophily, as well as enthusiasts of Parisian real estate. An aesthetic piece in a beautiful bright blue, ideal for framing.
