Description
This is a used three-stamp set from Denmark, Scott #672–674, issued in 1980 to commemorate highlights from the Royal Danish Coin and Medal Collection (Den Kongelige Mønt- og Medaillesamling). Each stamp reproduces historic Danish coins and medals spanning the medieval to early modern periods, reflecting Denmark’s long numismatic tradition and royal history.
The designs include:
-
Scott 672 (1.30 kr) – Early Danish coinage, including a Viking-era coin attributed to Hedeby, circa 800.
-
Scott 673 (1.40 kr) – Medieval coinage featuring imagery associated with Valdemar the Great (reigned 1157–1182).
-
Scott 674 (1.80 kr) – An 18th-century coin portrait of Christian VII, dated 1781.
Printed in muted earth tones and grays, the stamps resemble actual coin patinas, giving the set a subdued, scholarly appearance that appeals to collectors of European history, royal portraiture, and numismatic themes.
