Estonia Coat of Arms (Three Lions)

Estonia · 1928 · 5 Senti

This definitive stamp features the national coat of arms of Estonia, which consists of three blue lions passant guardant on a golden shield. The denomination '5 Senti' is displayed at the bottom, with the country name 'EESTI' at the top. The design is simple yet powerful, symbolizing the nation's sovereignty and heritage.

Issued in 1928, this stamp was part of a definitive series released during Estonia's first period of independence (1918-1940). The adoption of the Senti and Kroon currency in 1928 marked a significant step in stabilizing the nation's economy after the hyperinflation of the Estonian Mark.
