Iceland 1950 Coat of Arms
Iceland · 1950 ·
This definitive series features the Icelandic Coat of Arms, known as the Skjaldarmerkið. The design prominently displays a silver cross on a blue shield, supported by four mythological guardian spirits (landvættir): the bull Griðungur, the eagle Gammur, the dragon Dreki, and the giant Bergrisi.
Issued in 1950, this series reflects Iceland's national pride and identity, having become a fully independent republic just six years earlier in 1944.
