King Frederik IX, Wavy Line Frame
Denmark · 1950 · 25 øre
This definitive stamp features a portrait of King Frederik IX, who reigned from 1947 to 1972. The design, by Viggo Bang, places the monarch's profile within a traditional wavy line frame, a common motif in Danish philately. The stamp was printed in a distinctive red-brown color.
Issued early in the reign of Frederik IX, this stamp was part of a long-running series that became a familiar sight on everyday mail in post-war Denmark.
