This charity issue was launched in support of Volkshilfe. Pictured is the portrait "La belle ferroniére" by Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519). He was probably the most famous artist of Italy. He was a master builder, painter, sculptor, scientist of the highest genius. He was born in Vinci near Florence and lived from 1482-92 in Milan and from 1500-06 in Florence and again in Milan, 1513 in Rome and from 1516 in France. Although he painted few paintings ("Mona Lisa", supper, etc.), but a considerable amount of notes and sketches, as well as comments on a variety of topics. For example medicine, technology and art. Since November 20, 1947, the French currency was 1 Franc = 100 centimes on the Saarland stamps. the editorial board therefore records the nominal values of catalog numbers 226 to 378 in centimes.
