Experimental Issue, March 1970

In 1970, phosphorescent bands were implemented such that machines could determine the difference between urgent and non-urgent rates. This process was initially tested in Clermont-Ferrand from March to May, 1970.

30c green, for non-urgent rate, one band phosphor
  • Sheets of 100, with corner date
40c red, for urgent rate, two bands of phosphor
  • Sheets of 100, with corner date
Early dated corner block with phosphor
