Austria – Scott # 596, hinged

Description

Austria Scott #596 (Unused, Hinged) was issued in 1954 for the 2nd International Congress of Catholic Church Music, held in Vienna. This beautifully engraved 1s commemorative features an ornate church organ rising behind a seated angel playing a horn, capturing both the grandeur and spiritual resonance of sacred music. Printed in a warm brown-violet tone, the design showcases exceptional detail typical of Austria’s mid-century commemorative work.

This example is unused with hinge mark, displaying strong color, crisp engraving, and clean perforations. A meaningful addition for collectors interested in religious congresses, ecclesiastical art, music history, or finely engraved Austrian issues.
