Denmark's first postage stamps were introduced
in 1851 by a 2rbs value in blue using the
denomination as the design.. In 1873, the currency was changed to the
decimal kroner, which necessitated new stamps. new
perforation spacing and new watermark.
In 1904, King Christian IX became the first king of Denmark to be
depicted on a stamp.
in 1920, Denmark's first commemorative stamps marked the reunion of
northern Schleswig with Denmark following a plebiscite..
During World War II, Germany occupied Denmark, but the stamp program
gives no evidence of that. except that mail was subject to German
postal censorship.
In 1976 Denmark handed over responsibility for the postal service in the
Faroe Islands to Postverk Føroya.
The modern stamp program of Denmark tends to use relatively small stamps
produced using engraving.
The first postage stamp of the Danish West Indies was issued in 1856.
1874 saw the first numeral issues of the same sort as used in Denmark.
Values ranged from 1c to 50c but
As usual for small colonies far away, the Danish West Indies ran out of
popular values and the colonial administration had to
iapply surcharges .
Single-color 1c and 5c stamps were issued in 1900 to meet UPU
regulations. Shortages of 2c and 8c values led to more surcharges .
As a result of the currency reform, in 1905, new stamps were issued.
A few types are cheaply available today,but most fall into the US$10-20 range.
Used copies are often valued more highly by collectors.
