Issued in 1988, this Austrian 5 Schilling commemorative stamp celebrates the 1200th anniversary of Brixlegg, a picturesque town in Tyrol. The design by O. Zeiller and engraved by M. Laurent features a charming view of the parish church set against alpine scenery, symbolizing Brixlegg’s deep historical roots and scenic beauty. The town’s coat of arms, depicting the Tyrolean eagle and mining tools, appears at the top left — reflecting its heritage in metal mining. The issue captures Austria’s tradition of honoring local history through exquisite architectural and landscape depictions.
