Finland 1931 Surcharge Coat of Arms

Finland · 1931 · 50p on 40p

A Finnish surcharge stamp from 1931 featuring the national coat of arms lion, with '50p' printed over the original '40p' denomination.

This surcharge likely indicates a change in postal rates in Finland during 1931, allowing existing 40 penni stamps to be revalued to 50 penni for continued use.
