The Österreichische Staatsdruckerei used intaglio printing and halftone gravure printing as a combination printing . The stamps were printed in sheets of 100 pieces each.

Edition numbers

Most of the circulation figures are not known, but experience has shown that it can be assumed that they were up to a few hundred million per issue. Due to the postage rate and the running time, the definitive stamp at 5.00 was the most frequently produced. The values ​​at 12.00 and 17.00 are the least common.

particularities

The subsequent definitive series of the Austrian Post was labeled with works of art from monasteries and monasteries in Austria . Since these stamps have a different appearance and in some cases the same value levels as the previous series, this issue is viewed as a separate definitive series.

The landscapes from Austria preceded this series .

Market value

The stamps are more valuable in the mint condition than in the used or canceled condition, as there is a large inventory due to frequent everyday use.

As with most postage stamps, the value from the postage stamp catalogs is very much oversubscribed, especially if larger quantities ( kiloware ) are traded. The price in the catalogs can, however, be used as a comparison value between stamps.

As a result of the introduction of the euro , the stamps with schilling values ​​clearly lost their value, as these are no longer valid for postage after a transitional period where an exchange was possible.

When the item is stamped, the price depends very much on the quality and legibility of the stamp (date, place, zip code). Complete series with beautiful stamps are more expensive.
