Australia – Scott # 1076

Description

Australia — Living Together: Banking (Scott 1076)

This used commemorative stamp from Australia, cataloged as Scott #1076, was issued as part of the Living Together series, which explored everyday institutions and professions through humor and social commentary.

The 90c stamp features a brightly colored cartoon illustration themed around banking, showing two animated figures joyfully interacting as coins and fish-like shapes swirl through a fantastical financial landscape. The exaggerated expressions and surreal imagery gently satirize money, trust, and the human side of financial institutions, emphasizing cooperation and shared participation rather than abstraction or authority.

The playful, slightly absurd visual style is characteristic of late-20th-century Australian social-issue stamps, using illustration to make civic life feel approachable and communal.

Offered in used condition, the stamp shows a light postal cancellation consistent with normal circulation. Color remains vivid, details are clear, and perforations are intact. A strong example for collectors of Australia, social themes, or cartoon-style commemoratives.
