Austria – Scott # 1712, used

Description

Austria Scott #1712 (Used) was issued in 1998 to celebrate 50 years of UNICEF and features a vibrant children’s drawing with the handwritten phrase “Kinder zuerst” (“Children first”). The artwork depicts three smiling children in bright colors against a cheerful outdoor backdrop, capturing the spirit of optimism and international cooperation central to UNICEF’s mission.

This used example bears a clear circular cancellation that leaves the central design unobstructed. Colors remain vivid, and perforations are clean. A heartwarming addition for collectors of UNICEF issues, children’s art on stamps, or modern Austrian commemoratives with social themes.
