This elegant Austrian definitive stamp, issued in 1958, features a finely engraved bouquet of roses in a glass vase, symbolizing beauty and refinement. The central floral motif is framed by a detailed border illustrating the twelve zodiac signs, an artistic celebration of the cycle of life and time. Designed by W. Dachauer, the piece exemplifies Austria’s mid-century engraving excellence, with clean typography and balanced composition typical of the “Floral and Zodiac” definitive series. Printed in emerald green, the 12-Groschen denomination served standard domestic postal rates during the late 1950s.
