Denmark – Scott # B92, used

Description

This Denmark semi-postal commemorative stamp, Scott #B92, issued in 2007, was released in support of Kronprinsessens Marys Fond (The Crown Princess Mary Foundation), a Danish charitable foundation focused on combating social isolation and promoting inclusion, particularly among vulnerable children and families. As a semi-postal issue, the stamp includes a charitable surcharge intended to fund social welfare and community support initiatives.

The design presents a finely rendered engraved portrait of Crown Princess Mary with Crown Prince Frederik and their young child, emphasizing family, care, and stability. The intimate composition conveys warmth and attentiveness rather than formality, aligning with the foundation’s mission of fostering belonging and social connection. The realistic style marks a return to traditional portraiture, offering contrast to the more abstract charity stamps of the preceding years.

Printed in delicate line engraving with subtle tonal variation, the stamp balances detail with clarity. The country name “Danmark,” denomination, and charitable reference are cleanly integrated into the design, maintaining strong postal legibility while allowing the family scene to remain central. The overall presentation reflects a thoughtful, human-centered approach to modern commemorative stamp design.

Issued with a denomination of 4.75 kr + 50 øre, the stamp was intended for higher-rate postal use while raising funds through its surcharge. This example is offered used, bearing visible postal cancellation consistent with genuine circulation. Used copies are collected for their postal history interest and for their representation of Denmark’s contemporary social welfare themes through stamp issues.
