Denmark 1927 Caravel Type

Denmark · 1927 · 15 øre

This definitive stamp features a detailed engraving of a three-masted caravel sailing on the sea, a design by Danish artist Axel Johansen. The caravel was a type of ship used during the Age of Discovery, symbolizing Denmark's maritime heritage. The denomination is shown in the upper corners, with 'DANMARK' inscribed at the bottom.

Issued as part of a long-running definitive series from 1927 to 1933, the Caravel design replaced the previous Wavy Lines issue for certain values and became an iconic Danish stamp design of the era.
