Iceland 1907 Kings Christian IX & Frederik VIII Official Stamp

Iceland · 1907 · 5 Aur

This official stamp features dual portraits of King Christian IX of Denmark, who died in 1906, and his successor, King Frederik VIII. The design is a bicolored definitive, with the portraits in a central oval vignette and ornate framework, overprinted 'Í Gildi '07-'08' (Valid '07-'08) for official government use.

Issued during the period of Danish Home Rule, this stamp reflects Iceland's political connection to Denmark. The dual portrait honors the transition of the Danish monarchy, which still held sovereignty over Iceland at the time.
