Iceland Advertising Stamp

Iceland · 1931 · 10 Aurar

This stamp features the Icelandic coat of arms, a crowned stockfish on a red shield, which was the national emblem at the time. It is an example of an advertising stamp, where the design is accompanied by text promoting a product or service, in this case likely for philatelic purposes or general commerce.

Issued in 1931, this stamp reflects a period when Iceland was a sovereign kingdom in personal union with Denmark, using its distinct national symbols on postage.
