Finland · 1928 · 1½ Markka & 2 Markka

This set of two stamps was issued to commemorate the Helsinki Philatelic Exhibition of 1928. The design features the Finnish coat of arms, a crowned lion rampant holding a sword, standing on a scimitar. The stamps are inscribed "HELSINGFORS 1928" and "SUOMI FINLAND" along with the denomination.

Issued just over a decade after Finland gained independence in 1917, these stamps celebrate the growing international recognition of the young nation's philatelic community.
