Remarquée

Remarquée is a term derived from the French word "remarquer," meaning to notice or observe. In its simplest form, it refers to something that has been noticed, observed, or remarked upon. The context in which the term is used dictates its precise meaning. For instance, in a military context, a "remarquée" might refer to a specific piece of territory or an object of strategic importance that has been identified and noted for potential action or observation.

In literature and art, a "remarquée" can be a unique or exceptional detail that stands out, drawing the viewer's or reader's attention due to its distinctiveness or significance. It could be a subtle but telling gesture of a character, a particular brushstroke in a painting, or a memorable turn of phrase in a poem. The concept emphasizes the act of careful observation and the recognition of noteworthy elements within a larger work or situation.

The term also finds application in the world of collecting, particularly in numismatics and philately, where a "remarquée" is an original drawing or sketch by the artist on a coin or stamp that has been officially issued. These are often rare and highly valued by collectors as they represent a unique artistic addition to a mass-produced item. The presence of a "remarquée" can significantly increase the value and desirability of a coin or stamp.
