France 2010 Football stamp with Double back printing

Issue date 13 June 2010

Phila Poste France has issued a special stamp with back to back printing with stamps on both sides (On the front: "tu y crois" and on the back: "à fond") with either side to be used at a time.

The stamps were issued to commemorate the FIFA World Cup 2010 in South Africa.

Other countries has also issued back to back printing of stamps but the stamps printed were self adhesive which means 2 stamps even though printed back to back could be still used as 2 separate stamps unlike the one issued by France in this issued which allowed it to be used only once unless one removed the stamp from the envelope and stuck it reversed on another envelope which is usually a remote possibility one it is used.
