Finland 1963 Coat of Arms Type I WIFAG Press Printing

Finland · 1963 · N/A

This is Type I of the 1963 Finnish Coat of Arms stamp, distinguished by a wide white circle around the value. Printed on a WIFAG press, this variant of the M63 Lion type features fewer engraved lines in the heraldic lion and roses, particularly noticeable in the lion's leg. The stamp was designed by Signe Hammarsten-Jansson.

The stamp features the Finnish Coat of Arms, a significant national symbol representing the sovereignty and history of Finland. This definitive issue would have been widely used for postage during its period.
