Issued in 1970 by the Republic of Austria, this elegant commemorative stamp celebrates the Tag der Briefmarke (Day of the Stamp). Designed by Adalbert Pilch and engraved by G. Wimmer, it depicts a richly detailed 18th-century postal saddle and post horn—symbols of Austria’s proud postal heritage. The design combines classic craftsmanship with subtle gold tones, evoking the era of the imperial postal riders. The surcharge (3.50 + 0.80 S) supported philatelic promotion, marking Austria’s deep appreciation for postal history and stamp collecting.
