This definitive stamp features the 'Marianne of the Bicentennial,' an allegorical figure representing the French Republic. Designed by Louis Briat, the portrait is modern and stylized, with the Phrygian cap of liberty integrated into her hair, symbolizing freedom and the enduring values of the Republic.

Issued to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution, this design replaced the previous 'Liberty by Gandon' series and became the new face of French definitive postage for several years.
