Vyborg Castle and Coat of Arms of Karelia

Finland · 1941 · 2 mk

The stamp features a depiction of Vyborg Castle with the Coat of Arms of Karelia in the upper right corner, framed by the denomination and country name.

Issued in 1941 during the Continuation War, this stamp likely asserted Finnish sovereignty and national identity over Vyborg (Viipuri) and the Karelian region, which was heavily contested with the Soviet Union.
