Superb French colonial share with orientalist design, issued by the Compagnie Française des Huileries et Savonneries de Tunisie, formerly the G. de S. Medina establishment, operated in Monastir (Tunisia). A public limited company with a capital of 700,000 francs divided into 7,000 shares of 100 francs, head office at 23 rue Taitbout in Paris. Articles of association filed with Maître Maciet, notary in Paris. This piece documents the French agro-colonial industry of Tunisia under the protectorate, focused on the production of olive oil and soap — major sectors of the Tunisian economy in the 20th century. The vignette is remarkable: a signed orientalist scene depicting a horseman, palm trees, and a figure seated under an olive tree at sunset — pure colonial imagery. Mention "BEARER SHARE OF ONE HUNDRED FRANCS — Fully paid up", No. 4240, dated 15 November 1911 in Paris. Signatures of the Chairman of the Board of Directors and a director. Very fine sheet of attached coupons at the bottom. Apparent condition: very good, blue-black inks well preserved, firm paper. A piece sought after by collectors of colonial scripophily, Tunisia, the Maghreb, or olive-oil industries.
