Denmark 1904-1905 King Christian IX

Denmark · 1904 · 10 Øre

This definitive stamp features a left-facing portrait of King Christian IX of Denmark, known as the 'Father-in-law of Europe' due to his children's marriages into other royal families. The design is framed by ornate scrollwork, with the country name 'DANMARK' at the top and the denomination '10 ØRE' at the bottom.

Issued near the end of King Christian IX's long reign (1863-1906), this series replaced earlier bicolored designs and was a workhorse of the Danish postal system.
