Italy: Sardinia; Compagnie Générale des Mines Réunies, 10 shares of 100 francs, undated but circa 1855, #15051-15060, attractive border, black and grey-green. Formed to exploit copper, silver, lead and iron mines on the Island and in parts of Piedmont. Mining under modern methods really started after the passing of the mining laws of 1848. Money came from outside, mainly from French and German capitalists (this company was a French Societe en Commandite) and numerous comanies were formed but many failed. The one share pieces of this company are well known but this 10 share is quite scarce. Mount remains on reverse, GVF.
