Issued in 1967 by the Republic of Austria, this elegant 3 Schilling commemorative stamp celebrates the centenary of Johann Strauss II’s world-famous waltz “An der schönen blauen Donau” (“The Blue Danube”). The design by O. Stefferl depicts a graceful ballerina dancing with a violin in hand, symbolizing the Viennese waltz tradition and Austria’s deep cultural ties to music. Rendered in rich maroon tones, the stamp evokes the charm and romance of Vienna’s classical dance era. It remains a favorite among collectors of musical and Austrian commemoratives.
