Sunday Stamps X3 - Denmark, Tanzania

A Danish King provides me with an X (and by chance the only King of Iceland too as Kristján X from 1918-1944).

Denmark - 1942
King Christian X of Denmark became the symbol of Danish resistance to German occupation during WWII and helped finance the transportation of Danish Jews to neutral Sweden. He reigned from 1912 to 1947.

A Tanzania butterfly's Latin name provides me with two Xs - 

Tanzania - 10 December 1975
Axiocerses styx

The perfect initial to form an insignia with X. I always enjoy seeing butterflies on stamps.

Great finds for the most difficult letter, Bob.

There isn't a whole lot of information on this butterfly, but he is beautiful with the striking red and black.
