Well, it's an ~1867 Austria "Franz Josef" 2 kr yellow design. The problem, though is it appears to be imperforate, rather than perforate. So, perhaps an envelope cut-out????
The portrait is of the Hapsburg Emperor Franz Joseph. Your stamp resembles Austria Type A9 issued from 1867 to 1876. However, the Scott Classic catalogue from 2012 (I have 2014 on order) does not mention completely imperf varieties of the sets. Hopefully someone more versed in early Hapsburg issues; Austria, Hungary, the dual monarchy; will add to the discussion.
(looks like two other members weighed in first ;-) )
This is the BEST place to talk to people. Thank you and I have many more stamps that I have questions about. Hopefully I can become an expert one day too.
