SCG6217 - France 25 Centimes “Quittances” Fiscal Stamp – Ceres Head Design (c.1871–1875)
1 in stock
This French fiscal stamp depicts the classic Ceres head, engraved by Jacques-Jean Barre, symbolizing the Republic. Issued in the early 1870s, it bears the inscription “Timbre – République Française – Quittances” and a face value of 25 centimes in blue. These stamps were used for receipts and quittances rather than postal purposes, reflecting France’s detailed system of fiscal documentation. The dotted cancel seen here is typical of revenue use, applied to prevent reuse. Collectors prize such examples for their crisp engraving and historical value as part of the Ceres fiscal issues.
