Louis Napoleon Bonaparte was the nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte and the first president of the French 2nd Republic.
At the end of 1851, when he was blocked by the parliament from running for a second term, he became angry and led a coup d'état against the state. He officially became the Prince-President of the Republic.
In 1852, the French postage stamps were still inscribed "REPUB FRANC", but the effigy on two of the denominations was changed from that of "Ceres" to that of "Louis Napoleon".
- 10 C. (1852 - Y&T #9, Sc. #10) - Pale Bister on Yellowish, Dark Bister on Yellowish.
- 25 C. (1852 - Y&T #10, Sc. #11) - Blue on Bluish, Dark Blue on Bluish.
In December 1852, Louis Napoleon dissolved the 2nd Republic and proclaimed the 2nd French Empire. He was crowned Emperor Napoleon III on December 2, 1852, the 48th Anniversary of the Coronation of Napoleon Bonaparte.
All of the French stamps, issued between 1849 and 1852 were reprinted in 1862. They are printed in brighter colors and on whiter paper than the original stamps.
