Barcelona, Spain. 1758, One Share, No.1043. Virgin Mary and Christ Child flanked by priest, bishop and others at the top. The city of Barcelona across the center. Cherubs in the lower corners. An ornate white paper seal is affixed below. The condition is excellent, with full margins, bold text and images. You may wait years to find a nicer example. Organized in 1755 to broaden the export possibilities of Barcelona’s products, and to import colonial articles, the company enjoyed a trade monopoly with Puerto Rico and other Caribbean Islands.
