Austria 1853 15 Kreuzer Deep Green

Austria · 1853 · 15 Kreuzer

A deep green definitive stamp from Austria, featuring the double-headed eagle coat of arms of the Austrian Empire, with 'K. K. POST-STEMPEL' at the top and '15' at the bottom, cancelled with a 'MILANO' postmark.

This 1853 stamp is part of Austria's second issue, used during the Austrian Empire. The specific 'MILANO' postmark indicates its use in the Lombardy-Venetia region, which was then under Austrian rule, making this particular cancellation scarce.
