pristillgångarna

Pristillgångarna, also known as the Principal Combining Forms in Swedish, is a set of Swedish postage stamps designed in the early 20th century for international mail. Introduced in 1916, these stamps were designed for countries with which Sweden had a reciprocal agreement to recognize specific postage rates for international mail. The stamps were specifically designed for mail sent between Sweden and Finland, Denmark, Norway, and Great Britain.

Pristillgångarna had three different values,-var as one öre, två as two öre, and tre as three öre stamps-which corresponded to the international postal rates in force from 1915 to 1916. The stamps displayed the Swedish three-krona (three crown) sign and measurements, indicating the value of the paid postage in Swedish kronor and in crowns.

The design of the Pristillgångarna stamps differed slightly from the standard Swedish postage stamps issued at the time. They featured a box-like design that included the international letter rate in kronor, denoting that they were specifically authorized for use on international mail. Sweden had a special postal agreement, meaning that these postage stamps were a significant component of the country's international postal strategy.

Pristillgångarna stamps have become highly sought after by philatelists and stamp collectors.
