Austria: Vienna with Brexit Stamp

Last Wednesday I got four postcards: three from Austria and one from Crimea.

One of the cards from Austria shows various views of Vienna. Vienna is the capital and largest city of Austria and one of its nine States. It is also the second largest German-speaking city and the fifth largest city of the European Union. One of the four major UN office sites is located in the Vienna as well. The Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna is since 1996 on the UNESCO World Heritage List, Vienna's Historic Centre followed 2001.


With a very special stamp:
Brexit (issued 31-01-2020)
The stamp was actually already prepared for last year, but was postponed until the actual Brexit. The originally planned date, 29th March 2019, was thus crossed out and replaced by the new date. The United Kingdom is printed with varnish and disappaers if you hold the stamp at the right angle to the light.
with First Day Special Postmark
Austrian Heraldy (from set of fourteen) (issued 01-07-2018)



Thank You very much Anita!
