Description
Finland Scott #276, issued in 1948, commemorates the 400th anniversary of the death of Mikael Agricola (c.1510–1548), widely regarded as the father of written Finnish and a foundational figure in Finland’s cultural and linguistic history.
The stamp features a dignified full-length figure of Agricola in clerical robes, based on traditional portrait imagery. The design emphasizes solemnity and scholarship, reflecting Agricola’s role as a reformer, bishop, and translator whose work laid the groundwork for Finnish-language literature. The denomination is 7 markkaa, with inscriptions noting the anniversary dates 1548–1948.
This example is postally used, showing a visible cancellation with solid overall presentation. A key commemorative for collectors of Finnish history, language, religion, or Reformation-era themes.
