The third definitive designs of the Austrian Republic
The title of Deutschosterreich (German Austria) was not permitted under post-war treaties, so a new set of stamps was designed omitting the Deutsch prefix. As inflation took hold further values had to be added to the series.
The lower values were typographed, perf.12½, while the higher values were recess printed and also perf.12½, although some denominations occur with a scarcer perf.11½. As with previous recess printed stamps, there are wide and tall varieties.
