Issued in 1975, this striking French commemorative marks the 30th anniversary of the creation of the national Demining Service, established after WWII to clear unexploded ordnance across France. The design features powerful vertical pillars and radiating beams framing a sculptural human figure, symbolizing both danger and the lifesaving mission of deminers. Created by sculptor Joseph Rivière and architect E. Deschler, the artwork reflects the monumental memorial dedicated to fallen deminers. Printed in a refined combination of olive-brown and blue, the 0.70-franc value is a meaningful thematic item for collectors of humanitarian services, post-war recovery, and French memorial architecture.
