Denmark Semipostals, 50 Different Stamps

With one purchase you'll receive an assortment of 50 different charity and commemorative stamps from Denmark (Danmark). 

Stamps may vary from those shown, but many of the stamps will feature a “+” sign, such as “10+5” or “90+20”, indicating that they are semi-postal stamps (also called charity stamps). The first number is the postage value, and the second is a surtax donated to a cause, such as:

• Red Cross (you'll see the red cross symbol on many of these)

• AIDS Foundation (AIDS-Fondet)

• Greenland Fund (Grønlandsfonden)

• Women's Year (FN’s Kvindeår 1975) – United Nations theme

These types of stamps were used in Denmark and other Scandinavian countries during the 20th century as a way to support public welfare causes.

Some subjects you can spot in this collection of postally used stamps include:

• Queen Ingrid of Denmark (on the FN’s Kvindeår stamp)

• Architecture, like Danish towers and or lighthouses

• Children or youth themes (on stamps showing children’s portraits)

• Multilingual Red Cross stamp, emphasizing international cooperation

• Classic engraved Scandinavian printing style, known for its detail and clarity

This special collection of 50 Denmark semipostals tells a story of the country’s social values and humanitarian support.
