Greenland King Frederik IX Definitives

Greenland · 1950 · 30 Øre

This definitive stamp features a right-facing portrait of King Frederik IX of Denmark. The design is framed with ornate scrollwork, with the country name 'GRØNLAND' at the top and the denomination '30 ØRE' at the bottom. The stamp is part of a series issued for use in Greenland, which was a Danish colony at the time.

Issued in 1950, this stamp reflects Greenland's status as a Danish territory under the reign of King Frederik IX, who ruled from 1947 to 1972. This period saw Greenland's transition from a colony to an integral part of the Kingdom of Denmark in 1953.
