It was designed by Carnet Cabasson based on the first fiscal mobile stamp, which was originally designed by Guillaume Alphonse Harang in 1860 (as below).

My first cover from El Salvador ...
Many thanks William Guillermo Romero for this nice archeological cover, featuring archeological sites in El Salvador ;-))) This cover took 25 days to reach Singapore.
From top L - R :
1. Joya de Cerén - a pre-Columbian Maya farming village preserved remarkably intact under layers of volcanic ash
2. Tazumal - a Pre-Columbian Maya archeological site in Chalchuapa, El Salvador. Tazumal means, "the place where the victims were burned," in K'iche'.
3. San Andrés - a pre-Hispanic site of El Salvador. Between 600 and 900 AD, San Andrés was the capital of a Mayan lordship with supremacy over the other establishments of Vale de Zapotitán.
4. Statue of Terracota in Chalchuapa

The stamp on the left showed Collonges-la-Rouge, a beautiful French village, located in the department of Corrèze and region Limousin, that was built entirely with red sandstone.
The stamp on the right showed La Conciergerie, which is a former royal palace and prison in Paris, near the Cathedral of Notre-Dame. It is part of the larger complex known as the Palais de Justice, which is still used for judicial purposes. Hundreds of prisoners during the French Revolution were taken from La Conciergerie to be executed on the guillotine at a number of locations around Paris.
