Weird Al's UHF Stock certificate

[BrotherWilliam]

I've been a huge fan of Weird Al (and yes even a Close Personal Friend of Al) for many years now. I'm trying to recreate the stock certificate used towards the end of the film. I've attached a screenshot and a rough adjustment of the certificate.

The border is relatively straight forward, and the logo is seen elsewhere and I've been able to recreate that.

What I'm drawing a blank on is the female head in the middle. I've trawled through countless pictures of old certificates and haven't found anything close to it. I was wondering if anyone might have some suggestions.

I don't suppose Al himself has one as a souvenir?

That movie is still funny btw!

 

[BrotherWilliam]

I haven't, but that makes me wonder if Bermuda might have one in the archive. At least I know how to contact him through social media.

Definitely looks like something off of a stamp or coin.

Searching Vintage liberty stamp got some of these in Google images.

Could also be a man with a laurel wreath or a helmet:

I checked with a good friend of mine that works with Al, and has been in the archive, and he doesn't think that even Al has one of these. The Fan Club offered them at one point, but those seem to be quite rare.

I think you may have found it! Thanks!

I think you may have found it! Thanks!

Agreed. The helmet matches very closely, including light and dark spots.

Ummm....Dude. You just found the EXACT certificate !!!!!!

Text, graphics and all. Just add the Logo where that Beckenridge text is.

Yeah I wasn't sure if the face was the same but looking at them side by side it does seem to be a match.
There's one for sale here btw if you want to go the full way: Beckenridge Utilities Corporation Stock Certificate | eBay

Building on previous work on this thread, I tried my best to add the U62 logo, enjoy!

This reminds me I never ended up posting my final one.
I ended up purchasing a Beckenridge Certificate and scanned it in. Then colour shifted the border.

Here is my end result.
