Finnish Lion Surcharge, 2 Markka

Finland · 1921 · 2 mk

A definitive stamp featuring the heraldic lion of Finland within an oval frame, surcharged with a bold black '2' over the original 1½ markka value.

Issued shortly after Finland's independence, this surcharge reflects the need to adjust postal rates and utilize existing definitive stamps with new denominations.
