Brand: Austria

Austria · 1867 · 5 Kreuzer

A 5 Kreuzer brown stamp from Austria, featuring a profile portrait of Emperor Franz Joseph I. This particular example bears a clear cancellation from Vaduz, Liechtenstein, indicating its use in the principality during the period it relied on Austrian postal services.

Liechtenstein, a small principality, used Austrian stamps and was part of the Austrian postal system from 1818 until 1912. This stamp exemplifies that historical postal arrangement, showing the reach of the Austro-Hungarian Empire's postal services into the independent principality.
