Description: The stamp utilizes a striking upright triangle orientation outlined with prominent serrated perforations. A highly detailed portrait of Pope Pius XII centers the composition, showcasing the pontiff in his formal vestments and spectacles with a solemn, forward-facing gaze. Positioned at the apex is the bold red inscription "ANNO SANTO," linking the stamp to the Catholic Holy Year celebrations. A delicate olive branch sprouts to the left of his shoulder, perfectly balancing the latin word "PAX" inscribed to the right. The bottom corners feature intricate heraldic elements, positioning the Papal coat of arms on the left and the crowned lozenge shield of Monaco on the right. A flowing banner arches across the baseline, inscribed with the words "POSTES MONACO 50F."
