Estonia arms

 

Shown on these stamps is the national arms of Estonia.

Estonia, a country in northern Europe, began issuing stamps in 1918 after declaring its independence from the Russian empire. But it was incorporated in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in 1940. Later it declared its independence from the USSR in 1991 and resumed issuing its own stamps since then.
