Finland · 1909 ·

This 1909 definitive stamp from Finland, then a Grand Duchy of the Russian Empire, features a design similar to contemporary Russian stamps but with Finnish currency and distinctive small circles around the edge numbers. It is a specific variety (m/89) with 'A'-perforation and print plate type II, postmarked in Lohja.

Issued during Finland's period as an autonomous Grand Duchy under Russian rule, this stamp reflects the complex political relationship and distinct cultural identity of Finland within the Russian Empire.
