Description
France Scott #470, issued in 1947, is a Mint Never Hinged (MNH) commemorative stamp depicting the coat of arms of Normandy, continuing France’s postwar celebration of regional identity and heraldic tradition.
The design features the classic Norman arms: two golden lions passant on a red field, rendered in bold color with clean engraved lines. Framed simply and labeled FRANCE – POSTES, the stamp emphasizes clarity and symbolism over ornamentation, reflecting the restrained graphic style of late-1940s French issues. The denomination is 20 francs.
This example is Mint Never Hinged, retaining full original gum with fresh color and sharp detail. A strong single for collectors of French regions, heraldry, or postwar commemorative issues.
