Denmark – Scott #s 252-56, used

Description

Offered here is a used set of Denmark Scott #252–256, issued in the mid-1930s, celebrating two pillars of Danish cultural and architectural heritage: Nikolai Church and the influential reformer Hans Tausen. The set concludes with the beautifully rendered high-value Ribe Cathedral, one of Denmark’s most famous medieval landmarks.

Set includes:

• 5 øre (Scott 252) – Nikolai Church, green

• 7 øre (Scott 253) – Nikolai Church, violet

• 10 øre (Scott 254) – Hans Tausen portrait, brown

• 15 øre (Scott 255) – Hans Tausen portrait, carmine

• 30 øre (Scott 256) – Ribe Cathedral, blue

This group displays clean circular date cancels, attractive color retention, and strong engravings typical of Denmark’s mid-20th-century issues. The 30-øre Ribe Cathedral (a popular standalone collector piece) shows especially fine architectural detailing, making it the highlight of the set.

Perfect for collectors of Scandinavian architecture, religious history on stamps, or classic engraved definitives with historical themes.
