On January 19, 1990 Finland issued these two stamps (Facit #s 1099-1100) with "globe" hologram to announce the "conversion of Posts and Telecommunications...from a government office into a state commercial company" (Facit). The globe with logo hologram changes color when tilted, as shown from the phone pic. Also, the cel phone pic interprets the stamp's color better than the scanner.   |
