Description
Austria Scott #73 — Unused Hinged — 5 Heller Emperor Franz Josef I (1901–1904 Issue)
Issued between 1901 and 1904, this 5 heller definitive stamp is part of Austria’s classic imperial portrait series featuring Emperor Franz Josef I, one of Europe’s longest-reigning monarchs. The design displays a finely engraved side profile of the emperor framed within an ornate oval border, surrounded by rich scrollwork and denomination tablets in each corner.
Printed in a vivid blue-green shade, this issue exemplifies the high-quality line engraving and precise craftsmanship typical of the Austrian State Printing House during the early 20th century. The 5 heller value saw extensive postal use, making clean unused examples—especially those with presentable gum—particularly desirable to collectors of Austro-Hungarian classics.
This example is Unused Hinged, showing full original gum with a hinge mark, strong color, and a crisp overall impression. Perforations are clean and intact, providing a solid and attractive example of this popular definitive.
An excellent addition for collectors of:
-
Austro-Hungarian Empire
-
Franz Josef portrait issues
-
Classic European definitives
-
Early engraved issues
