Danish Herred arms

Series information :

  • Series : Arms of the former Herreds ('hundreds'), a former Danish administrative unit
  • Number of stamps : ?
  • Variations: ?

Background

A hundred is a geographic division formerly used in Denmark and regions that have been under Danish control (Southern Sweden, England, Northern Germany) as well as in Sweden and areas under Swedish control (Western Finland). They may once have referred to an area liable to provide a hundred men under arms, or containing roughly a hundred homesteads, or to a small parcel (thus loosely a hundredth) of a territory. It was a traditional Germanic system described as early as AD 98 by Tacitus (the centeni). In Denmark the hundreds remained an active administrative unit from around 1000 to 1919.

The stamps were probably issued in the 1940s-1960s, but I have no information on the origin or organisation that issued them.
