Description
The textured portrait of young, brave rooster with bright red cock comb.
The Gallic Rooster (Coq Gaulois), or cockerel, is the French national emblem, as symbolic as the stylised French Lily. From the very roots of French history, the Latin word Gallus means both "rooster" and "inhabitant of Gaul". The French rooster emblem adorned the French flag during the revolution. With the success of the Revolution in 1848, the rooster was made part of the seal of the Republic. In 1899, it was imbossed on a more widespread device, the French 20 franc gold coins. The Coq Gaulois has often been the symbol on French stamps over the years, although now (in 2006) the generic French stamp depicts a stylised "Marianne".
"A chicken in every pot" is more than a political slogan at the beginning of the 17th century, King Henri IV is supposed to have said "If God allows me to live, I will see that there is not a single laborer in my kingdom who does not have a chicken in his pot every Sunday".
