Finland 1925 Definitive Series I - Heraldic Lion

Finland · 1925 · 1 mk

The stamp features a heraldic lion rampant, the national symbol of Finland, enclosed within an oval frame. The denomination '1 mk' is displayed at the bottom.

Issued in 1925, this stamp is part of Finland's first definitive series following its independence in 1917, symbolizing the newly formed nation's sovereignty. The watermark features a swastika, a traditional Finnish symbol of good fortune and national identity, used long before its later appropriation.
