Denmark – Scott # 403, hinged

Description

Issued by Denmark in 1962, this 60 øre commemorative (Scott #403) honors the M/S Selandia, launched in 1912 and recognized internationally as one of the earliest large diesel-powered ocean-going vessels. The design shows the famous ship in profile with overlaid technical linework, highlighting the engineering transition from steam to diesel propulsion and Denmark’s leadership in maritime innovation during the early 20th century.

This example is unused hinged, with strong blue color, intact perforations, and typical gum disturbance from hinging. An appealing addition for collectors of Danish maritime history and technological commemoratives.
