Comments
(fr) Pour ce type, il existe deux types de tranche : A, la tranche est lisible lorsque la montgolfière à l'avers est placée vers le haut ; B, la tranche est lisible lorsque la valeur faciale au revers est placée vers le haut. La tranche étant marquée avant la frappe, la répartition est aléatoire entre tranche A et tranche B , dans la circulation comme dans les essais ou comme dans les boîtes FDC. Elle se répartissent de manière égale entre les deux types de tranches.
L'avers marque le bicentenaire du premier vol libre humain d'une montgolfière à air chaud conçue par les frères Montgolfier, le 21 novembre 1783 à Paris avec à son bord Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier et le marquis d'Arlandes, initiant ainsi la conquête de l'espace.
Le 1er Décembre 1783, 10 jours après le premier vol humain dans un ballon à air chaud, Jacques Charles et Nicolas-Louis Robert font à leur tour un vol sur un ballon rempli de dihydrogène. Ils décollent depuis le Jardin des Tuileries devant une foule immense.
