Bolivia & Peru: Potosi, La Paz & Peruvian Mining Association, 10 shares of £15, London, April 1827, #2116, vignette of mountain in scrollwork at left, black printing on vellum, signed by 3 directors. One of the numerous British companies formed in 1824/25 for working mines overseas, most of which failed dismally. It would appear that the original £25 deposit paid by shareholders was much reduced and in 1827, the date of the first piece, new Consolidated shares were issued at only £15. Only F but scarce [R9*]
