1904, Belgium. Action Privilegiee de 500 Francs. Red/Pink/Blue/Brown/Tan/Yellow/Gold/Green/Black. A truly outstanding and beautiful multi-vignetted certificate whose central vignette covering most of the certificate is a large, aerial view of the port of Zeebrugge and the North Sea, high above which is a winged female standing on an anchor holding a torch; several views of Zeebrugge within the top border; Belgian coat-of-arms at top and bottom left. Litho. Zeebrugge has developed into an important port city because it is located on the North Sea, the busiest sea in the world, and because it is centrally located to most other North Sea ports. This company, which was founded in 1895 and operates through a concession granted jointly by the Government of Flanders and the city of Zeebrugge, manages and operates port operations, and thus is roughly equivalent to the Port Authorities which exist in the U.S. Full coupons at right. A beautiful, multicolored piece, and always popular. Three punch cancellations through the signatures, otherwise Choice.
