Finland 1901 Second Temporary Issue with Russian Eagle

Finland · 1901 · 10 penni / 10 kopek

The stamp features a two-headed Russian imperial eagle within an oval frame. Denomination is displayed in both Russian (kopek) and Finnish (penni) languages.

Issued during Finland's period as an autonomous Grand Duchy under the Russian Empire, this stamp reflects Russian imperial authority. As a 'temporary issue', it likely filled a gap in postal needs during a period of political or administrative change.
