France · 1970 · 0.40 F, 0.50 F, 0.90 F
This set of three definitive stamps features stylized designs representing key aspects of French identity. The 0.40 F stamp shows a modern interpretation of the Gallic rooster, a national symbol. The 0.50 F stamp depicts the French coat of arms, and the 0.90 F stamp features a stylized representation of the French flag.
Issued in 1970 under the presidency of Georges Pompidou, these stamps reflect a period of modernization and artistic expression in French philately, moving towards more abstract and symbolic designs for definitive issues.
