| Incorporated under Delaware law, USA; .5 by
6 cm. engraving from the American
Banknote Company: Aphrodite (L: Venus), the goddess of beauty and love,
with her common attributes, 2 doves, and with her son Eros (L: Amor = Cupido),
god of love, here depicted (as often by painters in the Baroc or Rococo
period) as a chubby child. Aphrodite holds the attributes of Eros, the arrows. Venus is often synonymus for female nudity in arts, without mythological
or symbolic meaning, but often with some conventional attributes, such as
a mirror or a dove (source: Hall) ---------- 1930, 100 shares, blue, unfolded, hole punched characters, price 50 Euro ---------- 1938, < 100 shares, brown border, hole punched characters and other cancellation holes, price 50 Euro. ---------- 1949, < 100 shares, purple border, seal indicating Incorporation in Delaware in 1939. I am puzzled why it can be that similar shares (see above) date from before 1939; hole punched characters and several staple holes, price 50 Euro. |
