Australia: Londonderry Gold Mine Ltd., 10 shilling shares, 189[9], #2581, good vignette of mining camp, border with two coats of arms, blue, printed by Waterlow & Sons. Originally financed in London in 1894 with a capital of £700,000 and promoted as one of the stars of the Coolgardie goldfield. Sadly as was often the case the vein ran out at a shallow depth and the company was reorganised with a capital of only £70,000 in 1899 to which this certificate relates. Somewhat creased, stained at top edge and seal backed with archival tape. Scarce despite these faults. GF.
