This elegant 2 Franc commemorative from Monaco (1958) marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Saint Bernadette Soubirous (1858–1958), the humble French visionary associated with the Marian apparitions at Lourdes. Printed in a refined blue and violet intaglio, it features a finely engraved portrait by R. Serres, capturing Bernadette in traditional attire. Issued during Monaco’s mid-century period of beautifully engraved portrait stamps, it is prized for its crisp detail, clean lines, and historical-religious significance. A popular addition for collectors of Monaco, religious themes, and engraved European commemoratives.
