La Poste's ninth NFTimbre, launched on 15 September 2026 at 9:30 on nftimbre.com, revisits four fables of Jean de La Fontaine — Le Corbeau et le Renard, La Cigale et la Fourmi, Le Lièvre et la Tortue and Le Loup et l’Agneau. Illustrator Lili des Bellons places the animals in a contemporary universe where modern objects and surreal touches meet medieval aesthetics; graphic design by Agence La Suite. The blocks are printed in offset with an iridescent hot foil on the titles, and a QR code unlocks the animated NFT twin.
Each block is numbered 1–9,000: numbers 1–1,000 are reserved for the Pack Prestige (EUR 70, with four pre-stamped postal cards), 1,001–5,000 for the Pack (EUR 32, bonus NFT included) and 5,001–9,000 for individual sale. Within a pack all four blocks carry the same number. The sale window runs until 15 October 2026 according to the crypto-stamps.org agenda.
Curator note: the four fables are modelled as variants of one edition, following the NFTimbre 1–7 fixtures; rarity ranks are omitted because all blocks share the same mintage. Chain (Tezos) is inferred from the programme, no contract address is published, and the printer is not named for this issue.
