Description
This French stamp from 1920 features the iconic
'Sower' design, a popular allegorical figure representing France. What makes this particular stamp unique and highly sought after by collectors is the prominent 'Specimen' overprint, indicating it was likely a sample provided to postal administrations or for exhibition purposes rather than for postal use. Such overprints often signify rarity and historical significance, as they were not intended for general circulation. The '1' overprint in red further distinguishes this specific specimen. Its market value is significantly higher than its regular issued counterparts due to its scarce nature, making it a fascinating piece for philatelists interested in French postal history and specialized varieties.
