Norway Coat of Arms, Posthorn Type

Norway · 1900 ·

This stamp is part of the long-running Posthorn series, one of the world's oldest stamp designs still in use. It features the Norwegian coat of arms, a crowned lion rampant holding an axe, set within a classic post horn design. The denomination and country name 'NORGE' are prominently displayed.

Issued at the turn of the 20th century, this definitive series reflects Norway's national identity during the final years of its union with Sweden, which was dissolved in 1905.
