Iceland Coat of Arms, King Christian X

Name: Iceland Coat of Arms, King Christian X
Brand: Iceland

Iceland · 1920 · 10 Aurar

This definitive stamp features the crowned coat of arms of Iceland, which includes a gyrfalcon, a dragon, a bull, and a giant, representing the country's guardians. The design is framed by ornate scrollwork and includes the monogram of King Christian X, who was King of Denmark and Iceland at the time.

Issued in 1920, this stamp reflects Iceland's status as a sovereign kingdom in a personal union with Denmark, established by the Danish-Icelandic Act of Union in 1918. The inclusion of both the Icelandic coat of arms and the King's monogram symbolizes this political arrangement.
