Issued by Austria in 1966 for Tag der Briefmarke (Stamp Day), this charming semi-postal stamp (3s + 70g) features a traditional medieval courier holding a spear and letter. The detailed illustration reflects Austria’s rich postal heritage and artistic engraving style of the 1960s. Designed by A. Fischer and engraved by A. Pilch, it highlights historical mail delivery traditions. The surtax supported philatelic or postal-related causes, making it a meaningful semi-postal issue. A desirable addition for collectors of Austria, postal history, and Stamp Day thematic collections.
