Description

Finland – Scott #119–122 (Used)

Finland Scott #119–122 is a four-stamp definitive set featuring the Finnish Lion coat of arms, issued in higher denominations during Finland’s early independence period. The heraldic lion, wielding a sword and trampling a curved saber, serves as a strong symbol of national sovereignty and resilience. Each stamp is printed in a distinct color and denomination, creating a visually cohesive yet varied set.

The set includes the 10, 20, 50, and 75 penniä values, all bearing bold numeral overprints corresponding to their denominations. The wavy-line background pattern adds texture and depth, a hallmark of Finnish definitives from this era. These stamps were widely used for everyday postal needs, making genuinely well-preserved examples increasingly collectible.

All four stamps in this group are used, each showing period cancellations. Together, they form an excellent representative group for collectors interested in Finland, Nordic heraldry, or classic European definitive issues.
