The 2008 Marianne Stamp, a 5 euro silver stamp from France.
La Poste presents this 2008 5 euro silver stamp made of 99.9% pure silver. Beautiful and collectible, this stamp is also a real pressure-sensitive 5 euro postage stamp, and can be used in France to mail a package.
Marianne is a proud and determined woman wearing a Phrygian cap. She's the national personification of the French Republic, and a symbol of Liberty. Her image has been used on most definitive stamps issued in France since 1944, as well as on several commemorative stamps.
The silver stamp comes on a collectible card, which is sealed to prevent oxidation.
