Sweden 20 öre Blue, Lion and Three Crowns Type

Sweden · 1921 · 20 öre

This definitive stamp features the lesser coat of arms of Sweden, known as the Three Crowns (Tre Kronor), above a crowned lion rampant. The denomination '20' is prominently displayed in the upper corners, with 'SVERIGE' inscribed at the bottom. The design is printed in a distinct blue color on paper with a wavy lines watermark.

Issued as part of a long-running definitive series, this design was a workhorse of the Swedish postal system in the early 1920s, used for common domestic letter rates.
