A 12 Groschen Austrian stamp from the 1934-1936 "Trachten" (Traditional Costumes) series, depicting a woman in traditional dress from the Wachau region. The stamp is postmarked "Stainz 7. März 1935" and affixed to the reverse (address side) of a postcard featuring the "Gasthaus Ganster zum Höllerhansl Rachling".
