Finland 1931 Coat of Arms Overprint 50p on 40p

Finland · 1931 · 50p on 40p

The stamp features Finland's national coat of arms, depicting a crowned lion rampant holding a sword, with an overprint changing its denomination from 40p to 50p.

Issued in 1931, this overprinted stamp likely reflects a change in postal rates or a temporary shortage of the 50p denomination, a common practice during periods of economic adjustment or postal reform in post-independence Finland.
