Norway Revenue Stamp, 10 Øre Blue
Norway · 1895 · 10 Øre
This Norwegian revenue stamp features the national coat of arms, a crowned lion rampant holding an axe (St. Olav's axe), enclosed within an ornate circular frame. The denomination '10 ØRE' is prominently displayed at the bottom, with 'STEMPELMÆRKE' (Stamp Mark) inscribed above the central design.
Issued in the late 19th century during the union between Sweden and Norway, these stamps were used to pay taxes or fees on legal documents, not for postage. Their design reflects a strong sense of Norwegian national identity.
