Iceland Official Post Office Seal

Iceland · 1930 · None

This is an official seal used by the Icelandic post office, not a postage stamp for prepaying mail. The design features the Icelandic coat of arms, a crowned stockfish on a red shield, a symbol with historical roots dating back to the 16th century. These seals were used to secure official mail or postal documents.

Issued around 1930, these seals reflect the period when Iceland was a sovereign kingdom in personal union with Denmark, on its path to becoming a fully independent republic in 1944.
