Finland 1931 Coat of Arms Overprint

Finland · 1931 · 1.25mk on 50p

A definitive stamp from Finland featuring the national coat of arms, a crowned lion holding a sword, with an overprint changing the denomination from 50 penni to 1.25 markka.

This overprint issue likely reflects a change in postal rates or currency adjustments in Finland during the early 1930s, a period of economic fluctuation following the Great Depression.
