Issued by France in 1965, this striking 0.60 franc commemorative stamp honors the 20th Anniversary of the Commissariat à l'Énergie Atomique (CEA), the French Atomic Energy Commission. The design features powerful scientific and industrial imagery: an atomic model symbolizing nuclear research, a power transmission tower representing energy distribution, a reactor dome, and motifs of agriculture, medicine, and industry. Printed in shades of deep blue, the stamp reflects France’s advancement in nuclear energy for peaceful applications during the post-war era. A must-have piece for collectors of science, technology, and French commemoratives, it captures the optimism of atomic progress in the mid-20th century.
