zero-coupon shares
Explanation:
There are a few Google hits for "zero-coupon shares" (by analogy with the more common "zero-coupon bond"), i.e. shares of an investment trust that are repaid at maturity at a fixed price without ongoing dividend payments.

According to your note, these "couponlose Titel" are not shares but certificates for shares. Therefore I suggest "zero-coupon certificates" or, more general, "zero-coupon securities".

share certificates without coupons


Explanation:
I dont' think that there are no dividend payments but it is rather a question of form of the shares. Normally a coupon is attached to shares in physical form (see link) but not in the case of these share certificates.

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effektive_Stücke

In this case, dividend payments are made on the basis of the entries in the shareholder register. See link under "Couponsbogen" (this is a term only used in Switzerland)

An example can be found in the statutes of Helvetia in Article 4 (German and English version)

agree  Kieran McCann: that's how I read it, in the absence of more specific details of the zero-dividend nature of the shares
