Issued by the Republic of Austria in 1972, this elegant 2 Schilling commemorative stamp marks the 400th anniversary of the Spanish Riding School in Vienna. The design by A. Pilch and engraving by R. Toth depict a Lipizzaner horse performing the classical dressage movement known as the Piaffe — a symbol of the school’s refined equestrian tradition. Printed in rich maroon and gold tones, the stamp celebrates one of Austria’s most cherished cultural institutions, where art and horsemanship blend in centuries-old harmony. A highly collectible issue for lovers of Austrian heritage and equine themes.
