AYE OF THE TIGER!

The lovely old city of Turnhout Belgium was the birthplace of the Playing Card industry in the 19th Century. The most famous of its manufacturers was La Turnhoutoise (she who hails from Turnhout), whose superb playing cards are valuable collectible works of art today (google the name for images).

The logo of La Turnhoutoise was a tiger. Here you have a very rare original 500 Franc bond from the company with its trademark tiger cub trotting happily through the jungle!

The bond, which is printed in French, was issued in 1947 and has a full sheet of interest coupons as large as the bond itself, which remains in crisp uncirculated condition.

A great gift for the playing card (or tiger) collector or anyone else who'd love to have a great earth tone European bond to frame at the unbelievable price of $4.99!! Sells for up to $50 on scripophily sites! SAVE 90%!!!
