Finland Coat of Arms Surcharge

Finland · 1948 · 12mk on 10mk

The stamp features Finland's national coat of arms, depicting a crowned lion holding a sword, with a surcharged denomination of 12mk on the original 10mk.

Issued in 1948, this surcharge likely reflects post-World War II economic adjustments or changes in postal rates in Finland as the nation recovered from the war.
