Denmark – Scott #s 509-12

Description

Issued by Denmark in 1972, this four-stamp set (Scott #509–512) highlights major Danish infrastructure projects and coastal facilities of the period. Each value features a bold, symbolic motif: the New Little Belt Bridge, Hanstholm Harbour, the Limfjord Tunnel, and Knudshoved Harbour, emphasizing engineering achievement and national transport links across land and sea.

Designed with strong geometric iconography and engraved by C. T. Slania, the series embodies Denmark’s modern graphic language, combining navigation, automotive routes, and maritime elements into striking visual compositions. These examples are Mint Never Hinged, with bright color and original gum intact. A notable modern set for collectors of Scandinavian engineering and transportation themes.
