The Austria 1932 60 Groschen Landscapes stamp is part of the popular definitive series known as the "Small Landscapes" (or Kleine Landschaften). Here are the key details about that specific stamp: Year of Issue: 1932 (This series was issued from 1929 to 1932, with the 1932 set featuring a reduced size). Denomination: 60 Groschen (60g) Image: The 60 Groschen value in this series typically features a landscape view of Semmering, Lower Austria. Color: The stamp is generally described as olive-green (or sometimes a similar shade like olive). Catalogue Number: The Michel catalogue number for the 60 Groschen value is typically Mi. 542. The Scott catalogue number, however, often lists the 60g olive-green in the 1929 larger set, while the 1932 'Small Landscapes' set appears to have had an extended range of values and colors. One source indicates the 1932 set only went up to 50g, but other listings show a 60g stamp for this year. The 60g olive-green with a view of Semmering is generally associated with the 1932 issues. Value Consideration The monetary value of a stamp like this depends heavily on its condition: Mint Never Hinged (MNH): In perfect condition, never mounted. Some listings suggest a significantly higher value for this condition, potentially in the tens to hundreds of US dollars or Euros. Unused (Hinged/MH): Unused but mounted with a hinge. The value will be lower than MNH. Some sales list stamps in this condition for around €25 to €50 or more, depending on the specific catalog value used. Used (Canceled): The value is generally the lowest in this condition, often only a few dollars or less, unless it's a very clear cancel or on a cover (envelope).

Key Identification Point

Since the color difference is the easiest distinction:

  • If your 50g stamp is Deep Blue, it features the Wörthersee Lake in Carinthia. This was part of a color change group issued in September 1932.
  • If your 50g stamp is Bright Violet, it was one of the initial reduced-size “Small Landscapes” issued in March 1932, and it features the Silvretta Mountains.

This definitive series provides a wonderful pictorial tour of Austria’s provinces and is highly representative of the country’s philately between the world wars.
