Denmark – Scott # 309

Description

This is a Mint Never Hinged example of Denmark Scott #309, issued in 1948 as part of the King Frederik IX definitive series. Printed in a rich orange-brown, this stamp features a finely engraved portrait of the newly ascended monarch, reflecting both Denmark’s modern royal imagery and the elegant line-engraving tradition of the mid-20th century.

Key features include:

• MNH condition with full original gum

• Crisp, clean impression with strong color

• Sharp portrait detailing, especially the uniform and facial engraving

• “KONGELIG POST / DANMARK 30” inscription and royal monogram “F IX” prominently displayed

A superb example for collectors building a high-quality set of Frederik IX definitives or assembling a MNH run of postwar Denmark.
