certificate of the Bank of America, 1845  

Bank of the United States of America:
Established in Philadelphia in 1816

Certificate in Dutch language, issued in the years 1841 - 1852 (items available here are from 1842, 1844 and 1845) in Amsterdam against original shares of 100$ each. The issuing bank was the very famous banking-group of Hope & Comp., Ketwich and Voombergh and the widow of Willem Borsky. Hope & Co. represented the Dutch or European shareholders in the US Bank when it ran into difficulties around 1841. Just like about 50% of all the USA banks did after the Panic of 1837, related , among other factors, to a sharp decline in cotton prices after a bubble in the prices of land, slaves and cotton in the years before.

The certificates are in condition EF, without folds, very clean and have an ornate border of the so called "music note" type (a type of security print). It measures: ca. 21 x 26 cm, with separate complete coupon sheet, Price 45 Euro.
