Each stamp features a bold, stylized heraldic shield rendered in rich colors and clean engraved line work, reflecting both medieval symbolism and modern graphic clarity. Issued shortly after World War II, the series emphasizes unity through regional diversity as France rebuilt its national identity.

Scott #461 – 10 francs – Bretagne (Brittany) (ermine pattern)
-
Scott #462 – 15 francs – Provence (fleur-de-lis and red chief)

All four stamps are Mint Never Hinged, retaining full original gum with fresh color and sharp impressions throughout.
