Austria 1867 Mercury stamps. Michel #42, catalogue value 0.50€. Occasionally seen with private perforations.
These are normally inperforate, but private perforations exist. These stamps were printed using several printing plates, that can be identified rather easily by looking at stamp design and print quality.
About a decade later, in 1880, the same design was used to issue a new, light green newspaper stamp. This time the stamp design also contained nominal value of ˝Kr printed on the bottom of the stamp frame.
