The "simplified Glücksburg-sheet" was issued for the International Philatelic Exhibition HAFNIA '01 in Copenhagen, and shows the profiles of the most important sovereigns in the Glücksburg-Dynasty. Inserted on the individual stamps are stamp-images of their spouses, and the four castles belonging to the family, and still in current use. The sheet carries further the exhibition logo.

Top row (left to right): Queen Margrethe II. Inserted are images of the Prince Consort Henri, and Marselisborg Castle (in Jutland), where the queen and her family favours to spend their holidays.

King Fredeerik IX. Inserted are images of Queen Ingrid and Graasten Slot (Southern Jutland), where the late queen loved to assemble her huge family -- three daughters and eight grand-children.

Bottom row (left to right): King Christian X. Inserted are images of Queen Alexandrine, and Amalienborg Palace in the heart of Copenhagen, with the changing of the guard in front of the palace.

King Christian IX. As there are no postage stamps depicting his wife, Queen Louise, a small stamp image showing the king has been inserted instead, together with an image of Fredensborg Castle (c. 40 km north of Copenhagen, where it all began, and the Glücksburg-Dynasty was founded. Today this castle is the residence of Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary.

The stamp, Denmark #467, with the design of a symbolic lit candle in the window, was modified by the removal of the anniversary year dates and a new lower panel with larger Denmark and no value.

May 4th is Memorial Day in Denmark and Danes put lit candles in their windows to show their remembrance of loss.

The same design was used for a self adhesive stamp issued in a booklet of 10. I am still searching for a scan of the booklet cover.

The 400th Anniversary of the Danish Post, Hafnia 2024 Exhibition

Lou wrote: On January 2, 2024, Denmark issued a s/s for the Hafnia 2024 exhibition, commemorating the 400th Anniversary of the Danish Post.

Rather than reproducing complete SoS on the stamps, the designer reworked Design Components of previous Danish stamps:

For the upper left stamp he used the post bird with letter motif from Sc #754 issued in 1984.

For the upper right stamp he used the electric postal bike motif from Sc #1638, the Europa 2013 issue.

For the lower left stamp, he reversed the motif of the Kugle post coach on Sc #330, issued in 1951 to note the Centenary of Denmark's first stamp.

For the lower right stamp he took details of the aircraft and spires motif from one of the Towers of Copenhagen airmail series of 1934, Sc #C8 in a slightly changed color.

The Kugle (Danish for ball) mail coaches were used for the inter-city transport of mail from 1815 to 1865. The unusual shape not only protected the contents, but also prevented the coachmen from augmenting their incomes by taking on passengers against postal regulations. None of the coaches survived, so a replica was built from existing plans for the Post and Tele Museum in Copenhagen. This coach is what the 1951 designer used in creating his artwork, he even faithfully copied the 1839 emblem of King Christian VIII on the side of the Kugle. It is reproduced in the s/s margin next to the Kugle stamp.

The commemorative s/s shows the new 2024 postal rate of 25 Kroner for INDLAND (domestic) mails up to 100 grams, so an ordinary letter will cost approx. $3.70 to mail. The UDLAND (international) rate is double the INDLAND rate. The inscriptions set specific usage, INDLAND stamps cannot be used on foreign destination mail and vice versa.

These increases were brought about because the volume of domestic mail has dropped by 90% in the last ten years as the Danes have used the internet to replace the mail more so than any other European country.

At the same time, the Post has invalidated ALL stamps issued before December 21, 2023 for use on domestic mail, but they can be used until the end of 2024 for foreign mailings. As you can imagine, this has upset the Danish public, the businesses and stamp collectors.

All this will make the s/s a bit expensive to obtain. Initial offers from dealers on the internet range from $16 to $23 + s/h. It is possible that the s/s, sold/shipped from other than Denmark, could be cheaper, so check around before you buy.
