Denmark: Igaliku

Igaliku is a settlement in the Kujalleq municipality in southern Greenland. The town was founded as Igaliko in 1783 by the trader and colonial administrator Anders Olsen and Greenlandic wife Tuperna. In 2010, Igaliku had 55 inhabitants.



Thanks to Ms Hans.J. She has used 2 stamps on manuscripts issued in 2014. The DKK 9.00 denomination stamp features an excerpt of Valdemar’s Law of Zealand with the beautiful blue and red initial “F” decorated with palmette motifs. And the manuscript on the DKK 14.00 stamp is a later copy from circa 1350. The initial capital “H” features a mounted knight. Top right is a stamp, from a set of 5, on Gard, Ejdersted issued on 15th Jan 2005. Other 3 stamps are definitives. A total of 30 DKK airmail postage used for India.
