Description
Issued in 2001, Denmark Scott #1198 is a commemorative stamp marking the 150th anniversary of the Royal Danish Post Office stamp, celebrating the introduction of Denmark’s first postage stamp in 1851. The issue honors both Denmark’s postal history and the origins of modern stamp collecting in the country.
The design prominently features a portrait of King Frederik VII, whose reign coincided with the launch of Denmark’s postal reforms. The composition incorporates engraved-style elements inspired by classic 19th-century stamp design, including a partial reproduction of the original 1851 Fire Rigsbankskilling stamp. Decorative typography and period detailing reinforce the historical theme.
With a denomination of 4.00 kroner, this stamp was intended for standard domestic letter rates, linking contemporary postal use with Denmark’s philatelic heritage.
This example is offered used, showing a clear cancellation, intact perforations, and strong remaining detail. An excellent choice for collectors of postal history, classic stamp design, or Denmark commemorative issues.
