This striking Austrian definitive stamp from 1922 belongs to the Posthorn series issued during the post-World War I currency reform period. The design, created by W. Dachauer, features the Austrian post horn crossed with an arrow, a classic emblem of the national postal service. Printed in violet with ornate folk-inspired borders and Gothic lettering, it captures the transitional style of early 1920s Austria, blending tradition with national symbolism. This 50 heller denomination was used for standard domestic postal rates under the newly stabilized schilling system that followed rampant inflation.
