Issued by the Republic of Austria, this 1.50 Schilling definitive stamp features a finely engraved portrait of Dr. Adolf Schärf (1890–1965), who served as President of Austria from 1957 until his death. The design, created by A. Pilch and engraved by G. Wimmer, depicts Schärf with the Austrian coat of arms—symbolizing national sovereignty—set behind him. Printed in deep brown tones, the stamp belongs to Austria’s long-running series honoring national leaders and statesmen, reflecting postwar democratic continuity and Austrian identity.
