This attractive France (1968) commemorative pair marks two significant historical reunifications with France.
The 25c stamp commemorates the Second Centenary of the Attachment of Corsica to France, featuring an elegant classical portrait framed by regional heraldry, including the iconic Moor’s head emblem of Corsica.
The 40c stamp celebrates the 300th Anniversary of the Reattachment of Flanders to France (Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle, 1668), showcasing royal portraiture surrounded by fleur-de-lis and Flemish heraldic symbols.
Both stamps are finely engraved in a traditional French style and reflect France’s strong philatelic tradition of commemorating regional history and sovereignty. A desirable thematic and historical pair for collectors of French history, regional heraldry, and 1960s commemoratives.
