Ottoman Empire/Armenia: Societe Commerciale Ottomane, one share of 5T£, Constantinople 1911, #16139, ornate border, mauve and black, text in French, Arabic and Armenian, adhesive Ottoman revenue stamp, with coupons. Not to be confused with an earlier company of the same name, liquidated in 1875 during the financial crisis. The name of this changed to Banque Commerciale Ottomane, perhaps to avoid the confusion and recent memory of its failure. Although based in Constantinople the officers appear to be of ASrmenian origin. EF.
