1950 common stock certificate for 5 shares in Coty International Corporation, featuring allegorical engraving of classical women at a well. Issued to Sam R. Carlson and cancelled.

This certificate is rendered in refined brown-grey tones with ornate borders and a central vignette of two female allegorical figures engaged in water collection, evoking themes of beauty, purity, and domestic industry. Issued in the name of Sam R. Carlson, it bears classic midcentury typography and an embossed seal dated 1949, with the design framed by the formal motifs of American postwar corporate engraving, ideal for display or collecting.

Incorporated in Delaware, Coty International Corporation reflects the global expansion of American beauty and consumer goods companies in the early postwar period. This certificate was issued on February 21, 1950 and processed by Bankers Trust Company in New York. The engraving and printing were executed by the American Bank Note Company, a prominent name in securities printing, renowned for their craftsmanship and security features.

This piece remains in decent archival condition with some light age toning and minor edge wear. It is printed on high-quality paper, measuring approximately 11½ x 7⅜ inches. The reverse shows standard transfer details with broker stamps from Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Beane, reflecting midcentury trading practices. A well-preserved example for collectors of cancelled securities, beauty industry ephemera, or engraved financial documents.
