This is a single postage stamp from Sweden featuring a profile portrait of King Gustav V. The stamp is printed in green ink and bears the denomination of 50 Ore. It is inscribed with 'SVERIGE' (Sweden) and 'KINGL. POST' (Royal Mail). The stamp appears to be from the early 20th century, likely issued for general postal use.
History
This stamp belongs to a series issued in Sweden during the reign of King Gustav V, who ruled from 1907 to 1950. Stamps featuring the reigning monarch were a common practice in many European countries, symbolizing national identity and authority. This particular issue would have been used for standard domestic and international mail during a period of significant industrial and social change in Sweden.
Facts
The '50 Ore' denomination indicates its value for postage, and the 'Kungl. Post' inscription clearly identifies it as an official Swedish postal item. Stamps featuring King Gustav V are popular among collectors, especially those specializing in Swedish philately or monarchical portraits. The specific design and color can vary across different issues within his long reign.
Value Fact
This stamp is a common issue and generally has low market value, typically ranging from less than one dollar to a few dollars for standard circulated examples. However, exceptional condition, rare variations, or stamps from limited print runs can command higher prices. Collectors often seek well-centered, sharply printed examples with original gum intact.
