Description
This is a used two-stamp set from Denmark, Scott #723–724, issued in 1984 as Denmark’s contribution to the Europa (CEPT) theme, focusing on key milestones in democratic and civil rights history.
Each stamp commemorates a major social reform that helped shape modern Danish society:
-
Scott 723 (2.00 kr) – Abolition of the Stavnsbånd (1788), the law that bound male peasants to the estate where they were born. The design uses symbolic imagery to represent the breaking of feudal restrictions and the expansion of personal freedom.
-
Scott 724 (2.70 kr) – Women’s suffrage in Denmark (1915), depicting women standing together in period dress, marking the extension of voting rights and political equality.
The pair reflects Denmark’s long-standing emphasis on civil liberties, social reform, and democratic development, making it especially appealing to collectors of Europa issues, political history, and human rights themes.
