Sweden · 1921 · 25 öre

This definitive stamp features a left-facing profile portrait of King Gustaf V of Sweden in a medallion frame.

The denomination '25' is displayed in numerals at the bottom corners, with 'SVERIGE' inscribed at the top.

Issued during the long reign of Gustaf V (1907-1950), this stamp was part of a widely used definitive series that served as the backbone of Swedish postage for many years.
