Set of Four Icelandic Commemorative Postage Stamps
Philately / Collectible Postage Stamps

Set of Four Icelandic Commemorative Postage Stamps

This collection consists of four distinct Icelandic postage stamps displayed on a light-colored gridded background. The topmost stamp is a horizontal landscape format with a denomination of 250 KR, featuring a snow-capped mountain (likely Hekla) and flora in shades of blue, green, and white. Below it are three vertical stamps with denominations of 5 KR, 15 KR, and 30 KR. These three stamps belong to a definitive or commemorative series featuring artwork styled after historical Icelandic manuscripts, utilizing tan, red, and black inks to replicate medieval script and illuminated initials. All four stamps exhibit characteristic serrated perforations around the edges and are mounted on black hinges or mounts. The printing quality is sharp, indicative of modern photogravure or offset lithography from the mid-to-late 20th century. The stamps appear to be in mint or high-grade used condition, with no visible tears, creases, or heavy cancellations, though the top landscape stamp shows a slight curvature at the upper-left corner. The 15 KR stamp features a prominent illuminated 'S' and decorative border trailing down the left side, while the 30 KR stamp showcases a dark, stylized illustration of a historical figure or scene.
