Equivalent Company, a dividend warrant for the 228th dividend being ½ per cent on £2000 of capital stock, 6th July 1819, payable at the Bank of England, issued to and signed by William Kops Coussmaker, small format, black, printed in London, single punch hole top left, ink cancel at top, very fine and the only type of paper seen of this important company. The Equivalent Company was the parent and founder of the Royal Bank of Scotland. It was formed by Act of Parliament in 1724 to incorporate the holders of ´Equivalent Debentures´, these being 5% bonds of uncertain redemption date issued to unlucky creditors of the Scottish national debt (soldiers, tradesmen etc) for whom there was insufficient cash in the ´Equivalent Fund´ created by England under the 1707 Act of Union. The Fund was granted to Scotland by the English Parliament and was intended to be ´equivalent´ to the additional duties the Scots were expected to pay as a result of the Union. The company´s authorised capital was the exact amount of the debentures - £248,550.0s.9½d. In 1727 the company obtained a Scottish charter to create a bank for banking in Scotland only (thus evading the Bank of England´s monopoly) with an initial capital of £111,000. This was the Royal Bank of Scotland. After this the Equivalent Company continued in existence in London, paying regular dividends, we assume with those shareholders who had chosen not to convert their shares into the Royal Bank. In 1835 the company distributed its Equivalent Stock to its shareholders. Subject to 20% VAT on Buyer’s Premium. For more information please view Terms and Conditions for Buyers.
