Finland 1946 Surcharge Coat of Arms

Finland · 1946 · 8mk on 5mk

This Finnish stamp features the national coat of arms, a crowned lion holding a sword, with a surcharge of '8mk' printed over the original '5mk' denomination.

Issued in 1946, this surcharge likely reflects post-World War II economic adjustments and changes in postal rates in Finland, a common practice during periods of inflation or currency revaluation.
