Denmark – Scott # 211, used

Description

Denmark Scott #211 (1934) is part of the engraved definitive series featuring King Christian X, issued during the later years of his reign. Printed in a rich violet, this 7 øre value presents a finely detailed profile portrait of the king enclosed within a circular frame surrounded by laurel leaves and ornamented borders.

The design incorporates post horns in the upper corners—an emblem of the Danish postal service—and the inscription “C X REX” along the lower arc, identifying Christian X as the reigning monarch. The overall layout is clean, balanced, and characteristic of Denmark’s elegant, understated definitive designs of the 1930s.

This used example shows a horizontal machine cancel typical of the period, leaving the portrait and inscriptions fully visible. The stamp retains strong color, crisp engraving, and intact perforations. A classic addition for collectors of Danish monarch issues or mid-20th-century portrait definitives.
