1 in stock
Issued by France in 1969, this 0.80 franc commemorative stamp honors the Édit de Nantes of 1598, a landmark royal decree by King Henri IV granting religious tolerance to Protestants (Huguenots) and ending decades of civil war between Catholics and Protestants in France. The design, engraved by Claude Durrens after artwork by G. Pécaris, features a finely detailed portrait of Henri IV in deep blue, set against a background of the original text of the Edict, complete with royal signatures and calligraphic flourishes. The stamp’s typography elegantly reflects the era’s manuscript style, reinforcing the historical significance of this act of peace and unity.
Collector’s Note:
This issue is a prime example of France’s late-1960s historical commemoratives, showcasing superb engraving detail typical of the Atelier de Timbres-Poste, Paris. It appeals strongly to collectors interested in French monarchy, religious freedom, and legal or historical documents on stamps.
