This elegant Austrian semi-postal stamp, issued in 1951, depicts a jockey astride a thoroughbred racehorse with the number 5 on its saddlecloth. Designed by R. Franke and engraved by K. Bauer and H. Strohofer, it carries a 60g + 20g denomination — the surcharge benefiting welfare or sports organizations. The design is rendered in a refined deep blue line engraving, framed by an ornamental vine border typical of early post-war Austrian issues. It forms part of the Sports series (Sporthilfe) celebrating Austrian athletic traditions, here symbolizing equestrian sport and national horsemanship.
