It was issued in 1989 and commemorates Finland's membership of the European Council.
There are 4 Finnish flags, one EU flag, and an assortment of flags spelling out the word Europe, although the main feature is a set of bridges.

This makes a very interesting stamp. I love the design. It looks very Finnish to me!
ReplyDeleteThe bridges make me think of birds' wings.
DeleteI'm glad you mentioned there are 4 Finish flags, I wouldn't have noticed them all :-)
ReplyDeleteInteresting design indeed!
It is only in preparing this post that I noticed all of them.
DeleteIt took me a moment to see the Finnish flags!
ReplyDeleteA nice design.
For fun, I googled Euroopan and found the names of the countries in Finnish which was quite interesting.
Some very different-sounding names there - thanks for sending me down that mini rabbit hole.
DeleteIf the bridges are meant to be symbolic of links between countries Britain will soon be a broken arch!
ReplyDeleteA sad thought for me. Hopefully all will be well in the end.
