Description
France Scott #451, issued in 1945, is a Mint Never Hinged (MNH) definitive stamp depicting Charles de Gaulle, leader of the Free French forces and later President of the French Republic.
The stamp features a finely engraved formal portrait of de Gaulle in civilian attire, rendered with restrained dignity and precision. Issued shortly after the Liberation of France, the design reflects national restoration, authority, and continuity following the collapse of the Vichy regime. The stamp carries a 50-franc denomination and is inscribed POSTES FRANÇAISES, marking the return to republican postal identity.
This example is Mint Never Hinged, retaining full original gum with a clean, fresh appearance. A key postwar issue and an essential single for collectors of modern France, World War II history, or political portrait stamps.
