Historic share certificate from the Bessarabian-Tauric Agrarian Bank, issued in Odessa in 1908 for 250 rubles. Printed in ornate brown and green with multilingual text (Russian, French, German), this bond is a stunning example of Imperial Russian scripophily. It includes four Imperial Russian revenue stamps at top, numerous validation stamps, and attached dividend coupons dated up to 1917.
