A letterpress printed broadside, printed in black and red. The broadside is a parody of a stock certificate, printed by Henry Morris of the Bird & Bull Press. The text continues: " ... Due to a series of uncorrected misprints in the original code of commerce, this certificate may only be transferred by a licensed broker who is certified in the little-known (and never spoken) Gothic dialect that is the country's only relic of the 12th century invasion by Bembo the Brusque ..." The broadside is dated April 1, 1977 and has a blind embossed seal at bottom right, "Bird & Bull Press. San Serriffe. Corporate Seal", and is signed "Pearl Morris," Secretary and "Henry Morris," President. CBA has one copy, this is copy 1, certificate number "5558."
