Denmark — King Christian X Definitive Issues 10ø–20ø (Scott 165, 166, 168, 170, 174 & 175)

This solid used group from Denmark brings together six definitive issues featuring King Christian X, cataloged as Scott 165, 166, 168, 170, 174, and 175. Issued during the interwar period, these stamps reflect Denmark’s continued use of engraved royal portrait definitives for everyday postal needs.

The designs present King Christian X in formal portraiture, rendered in finely engraved linework within rectangular frames. Variations in denomination, color, and portrait style distinguish the individual issues, while maintaining a consistent national aesthetic. The mix of earlier and later printings highlights subtle shifts in engraving depth, background shading, and tonal balance typical of long-running definitive series.

All stamps are offered in used condition, each bearing period cancellations consistent with genuine postal use. Portraits remain clear, inscriptions are legible, and perforations are intact across the group. This selection is well suited to collectors of Danish definitives, King Christian X material, or those assembling representative used examples from early 20th-century Scandinavian issues.

A compact and practical grouping illustrating continuity in Danish postal design.
