This striking 1977 French commemorative celebrates the 5th anniversary of the memorial dedicated to General Charles de Gaulle, one of France’s most defining statesmen. The design blends a stylized profile of de Gaulle with the iconic Cross of Lorraine, symbol of the Free French Forces during WWII. Bold geometric blues and greens evoke both the modernist memorial site and de Gaulle’s enduring legacy. The issue reflects France’s continued national reverence for its wartime leader and later President. A historically rich piece, it is a must-have for collectors of French political history or WWII-related philately.
