This definitive stamp features the 'Marianne de Béquet', an allegorical representation of the French Republic. The design, created by artist Pierre Béquet, portrays a modern and determined Marianne with flowing hair, symbolizing liberty and the spirit of France. It was part of a long-running series used for everyday postage.

Issued during the presidency of Georges Pompidou, this series continued the French tradition of using the Marianne allegory on definitive stamps, a practice dating back to the Second Republic.
