Denmark stamps – Christmas Seal year 1915 strip MNH/MH

The stamp you are asking about is the Denmark Christmas Seal for the year 1915.

It is important to note that a Christmas Seal, or Julemærke in Danish, is a vignette or charity label, not a valid postage stamp (it has no postal value or denomination) and therefore does not have a standard Scott or Michel catalog number for postage stamps.

Key Details of the 1915 Denmark Christmas Seal:

• Type: Christmas Seal (Julemærke) / Charity Label
• Purpose: To raise funds, primarily for the fight against tuberculosis and to support children’s sanatoriums. Denmark was the first country in the world to issue a Christmas Seal (in 1904).
• Design Subject: The 1915 seal features a design related to King Christian X and Queen Alexandrine. The design often depicts a symbolic element or a portrait relating to the royal family or a patriotic motif, especially during the period of World War I (though Denmark was neutral, the war influenced its national focus).
  • Note: Specific designs often vary annually, and the 1915 seal is known to depict an image of the Royal children.
• Designer: The designs for the early seals were created by various artists.
• Value: Because it is a charity label, it does not have a face value in currency. Its value to collectors depends on its condition (Mint Never Hinged, Mint Hinged, or used on a cover) and whether it is a single seal or part of a sheet.
