Norway Coat of Arms, Posthorn Type

Norway · 1900 ·

This definitive stamp series features the classic Norwegian Posthorn design, a motif used since 1872. The central design shows a crowned posthorn with the denomination inside, encircled by 'NORGE' and 'POSTFRIM.' The background is composed of fine, intricate lines, and the stamp is printed in a single color.

Issued at the turn of the 20th century, this series continued one of the world's longest-running stamp designs, reflecting Norway's stable postal system during the final years of its union with Sweden.
