Spain: La Navegacion Submarina - Monturiol, Font, Altadill y Comp., 25 escudo share, Barcelona [1864], #0598, ornate border, green and black, adhesive revenue stamp. The submarine, in several versions, was built by Narcis Monturiol between 1857 and 1868. The Spanish Government failed to get sufficiently interested in the first prototype so the second was developed with private money and the installation of a steam engine. The company became bankrupt soon after and the submarine was auctioned off to cover debts. Centre fold with some toning overall, with coupons F-VF.
