Finland 1950 Coat of Arms Definitive

Finland · 1950 ·

This definitive stamp features the national coat of arms of Finland, a crowned lion rampant holding a sword, standing on a sabre. The design, created by Signe Hammarsten-Jansson, is a classic representation of Finnish national identity and was used for a long-running series with various denominations and colors.

Issued in the post-war period, this series symbolized Finland's enduring sovereignty and national pride after the challenges of World War II and the subsequent payment of war reparations to the Soviet Union.
