Lombardy and Venetia · 1863 · 2 soldi

The stamp features a profile portrait of Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria facing right, within an oval frame. The denomination '2 SOLDI' is at the bottom, and 'LOMBARDO VENETO' is at the top.

Issued by the Austrian Empire for its crown land of Lombardy and Venetia, this stamp reflects the imperial administration during a period of intense Italian unification efforts. Its cancellation in JBRAILA (Brăila, Romania) suggests use in an Austrian post office operating abroad.
