Description

Rare historic railway share certificate issued in Czernowitz (Cernăuți), Bukovina, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This bond, dated 11 May 1909, represents 25 Priority Shares (III. Emission) of 400 Kronen each from the Neue Bukowinaer Localbahn-Gesellschaft, a regional railway company established to develop local rail transport in Bukovina—a multiethnic crown land rich in trade and cultural diversity. Printed in German, the official language of administration, the certificate reflects the industrial expansion of the late Habsburg period and the strategic importance of regional infrastructure. The share bears official stamps and a clear printed signature from the issuing entity. A beautiful and clean historical item, ideal for collectors of Central European railroads, Bukovina heritage, or Austro-Hungarian financial documents.
