Finnish Lion Type M63, 20 Penniä

Finland · 1963 · 20p

This definitive stamp features the Finnish coat of arms, a crowned lion rampant holding a sword, standing on a scimitar. The design, known as the Lion type M63, was a long-running and iconic series in Finnish philately, printed in a deep blue color. The denomination of 20 penniä is clearly displayed in the upper right corner.

Issued in 1963, this stamp was part of a new definitive series that replaced the previous Lion M54 design, reflecting a period of post-war stability and modernization in Finland.
