Description

A rare and visually striking bond issued by the Ville de Constantinople (City of Constantinople) in 1915 under the rule of the Ottoman Empire. This 500 Francs bearer bond, part of a municipal loan guaranteed by the Imperial Ottoman Government, features trilingual printing: French, Ottoman Turkish, and English. The elegant design is enhanced with ornate borders and bilingual denomination text. Issued during the First World War, this bond carries exceptional historical importance tied to the fading years of the Ottoman capital.
