Iceland, 1930 Althing Millennium Issue

Iceland · 1930 · 10 Aurar

This stamp commemorates the 1000th anniversary of the Althing, the national parliament of Iceland, which is one of the oldest surviving parliaments in the world. The design features the 'Lögberg' or Law Rock, the historical site where the laws of the Icelandic Commonwealth were recited. The denomination is 10 Aurar.

Issued in 1930, this set celebrated a millennium of Icelandic parliamentary history, a significant milestone that reinforced national identity during a period leading up to its full independence from Denmark in 1944.
