Queen Margrete II in her Greenland costume with an eagle soaring above water and cliffs.

She must like a bit of symbolism. My first thought was there were three lions but no, the one at her feet looks like a very big dog; Irish wolfhound?. Her own real dogs are dachshunds just a little different. The same stamp was also issued in Greenland and the Faroe Islands.
Sunday Stamps II theme this week is - Royalty - See It On A Postcard.
