Denmark Crown and Posthorn 5 Øre Definitive

Denmark · 1900 · 5 Øre

The stamp features a central design of a crowned posthorn, a traditional symbol of the Danish postal service, surrounded by the country name 'DANMARK' and the denomination '5 ØRE'. It is affixed to an antisemitic New Year's postcard.

This stamp belongs to a long-running definitive series used for everyday postal services in Denmark around the turn of the 20th century, reflecting the standard postal rates of the era. Its presence on an antisemitic postcard highlights the social context of its usage, though the stamp itself is not antisemitic.
