1990 subordinated exchange debenture issued by RJR Nabisco Holdings Group, printed with classical allegorical vignette and bold registered design.

This substantial debenture certificate features a finely detailed allegorical engraving showing two seated female figures representing commerce and industry, flanking a central plinth displaying Nabisco product boxes. The border is a strong green guilloche pattern with embossed “REGISTERED” boxes, and the bold serif typography evokes late-20th-century corporate formality. With its iconic branding and rich visual texture, this piece offers excellent framing potential for collectors of corporate Americana.

Issued by RJR Nabisco Holdings Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, this certificate represents a Subordinated Exchange Debenture Due 2007, Series A, dated 1 November 1990. The issuing period followed the famed leveraged buyout of RJR Nabisco in the late 1980s, one of the largest in corporate history. Printed by Security-Columbian United States Banknote Company, the reverse side details the complex terms of issuance and redemption, including floating interest rates, under the governance of the First Trust National Association and Bankers Trust Company.

This example measures approx. 12 x 8 inches and remains in decent vintage condition with some age toning, staple impressions, and light archival wear consistent with filing. Paper is firm and well-preserved, with full print clarity. An important artefact of 1990s corporate finance and the legacy of RJR Nabisco’s dramatic restructuring, this debenture suits collectors of scripophily, American conglomerate history, or 20th-century finance.
