Finland 1931 Surcharge Coat of Arms

Finland · 1931 · 1.25mk on 50p

The stamp features the Finnish national coat of arms, depicting a crowned lion brandishing a sword, surcharged with '1.25mk' over the original '50p' denomination.

Issued in 1931, this surcharge likely reflects an adjustment in postal rates during the interwar period in Finland, a common practice to adapt to economic changes without printing entirely new issues.
