Denmark – Scott # 314

Description

This is a Mint Never Hinged example of Denmark Scott #314, issued in 1948 as part of the early King Frederik IX definitive series. Printed in a vibrant purple-red (magenta) shade, this high-denomination portrait definitive showcases Denmark’s renowned engraving craftsmanship in the postwar period.

Design highlights include:

• Bold, crisp portrait of King Frederik IX engraved by Viggo Bang

• The “F IX” royal monogram and crown at upper left

• Strong textured background with excellent contrast

• “KONGELIG POST / DANMARK 75” denomination panel at bottom

This example is MNH with full original gum—fresh, clean, and free of any hinge marks. The color is especially bright and eye-catching, making this one of the most attractive values in the Frederik IX series.
