Austrian 5 Heller Revenue Stamp
The item is a postage or revenue stamp from Austria, featuring a dominant red color with white and black elements. The stamp is rectangular with perforated edges, indicating it was separated from a larger sheet. The design prominently displays the word "Oesterreich" (German for Austria) across the top in white lettering against a red background. Below this, a large white numeral "5" is visible, likely indicating the denomination, set against the red field. The background of the stamp behind the number and the denomination appears to have vertical striped patterns in red, possibly signifying a design element or security feature. At the bottom, the word "Heller" is discernible, further confirming the denomination. The stamp is heavily postmarked or cancelled with black ink, consisting of multiple horizontal and diagonal lines, which obscures some of the underlying design, particularly in the center and lower left quadrant. This cancellation suggests the stamp has been used. The overall condition appears consistent with an aged paper item that has seen use, with slight discoloration evident around the edges, possibly due to age and handling. The corners are also subject to potential wear from separation from a sheet.
