Finland 1890 Coat of Arms Trilingual

Finland · 1890 · 10 penniä / 10 kopecks

The stamp features Finland's national coat of arms, depicting a crowned lion holding a sword, with nine roses surrounding it. The denomination '10' is in the upper corners, and 'PENNIA' (Finnish) and 'КОП.' (Russian) are in the lower corners.

Issued during Finland's period as an autonomous Grand Duchy under the Russian Empire, this stamp reflects the dual linguistic and monetary systems in use, featuring denominations in both Finnish penniä and Russian kopecks.
