Issued in 1974, this 2 schilling Austrian stamp commemorates Salzburg’s historic role as a center of Christianization during the 8th century. The design, by R. Toth and A. Pilch, beautifully depicts a baroque relief showing Saint Rupert, the patron saint of Salzburg, symbolizing the spread of Christianity in the Alpine region. The intricate engraving highlights the city’s ecclesiastical heritage, including its cathedral architecture. A classic example of Austria’s devotion to cultural and religious commemoration through fine engraving.
