Historical Context:
This stamp hails from the classic Austrian "Kreuzer" issues, portraying Emperor Franz Josef I during the height of the Habsburg monarchy. Used during a time of rapid political change and military conflicts, this 15 Kreuzer piece served high-rate mail within and beyond the Austro-Hungarian borders. A tangible document from a vanished empire.

Condition:
This is a circulated stamp with visible signs of age and postal handling. Some imperfections are present. Please refer to high-definition front and back scans for a complete assessment of condition. Sold strictly as a historical postal document, with no declared value.

Shipping & Handling:
Will be shipped with care and protection. Combined shipping available. Sent as a documento postal sem valor declarado (postal document, no declared value).

Collector’s Note:
While not in pristine condition, this is a striking example with a well-preserved cancel and strong historical appeal. A solid addition for collectors focused on 19th-century Central European philately or the legacy of the Habsburgs.
