The Semeuse Type French stamps were first introduced in 1903. Semeuse, in French, means "Sower". The new design features a French farm girl walking across a plowed field at sunrise. She is carrying a bag of seeds in one hand and spreading the seeds with the other hand. La Semeuse has been one of the most prominent allegorical symbols of France for more than a century.

Monnaie de Paris or Paris mint issued a 5 Centimes coin to commemorate this iconic stamp of France. The stamp is a 5 centime green color stamp. The coin depicts the stamp with an orange marked text background on the obverse. The reverse depicts the Issuer in a circle with the designer’s name and the year of the issue in the center.
