Iceland 1930 Althing Millennium, Parliament Building

Iceland · 1930 · 10 Aurar

This stamp commemorates the 1000th anniversary of the Althing, Iceland's national parliament, which is one of the oldest in the world. The central design features an engraving of the Alþingishúsið, the Parliament House in Reykjavík, built in 1881.

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.
