Austrian Post Lenticular Stamp

Austrian Post Lenticular Stamp

Experience a movie on a real stamp! Austrian Post has produced an official stamp using lenticular printing technology. 48 images of a TV recording have been superposed, so to the viewer the optical effect looks like a film sequence of approximately 3 seconds. The stamp features the goal scored by Andi Herzog, Austria's football player, in the 76th minute of the game against Sweden on September 6th, 1997. The goal paved the way for the Austrian national team to enter the main draw of the 1998 World Championships in France.

Arguably Andi Herzog stamp is the most technologically advanced stamp ever. It is also one of the the largest, measuring 6.5 by 4.7 cm (2.6 by 1.9 in), and the most expensive stamps ever made. Its nominal value is 5.45 Euro (8.45 U.S. dollars). With this stamp Austrian Post wants to bring the legendary team spirit of the 90s back to the hearts and minds of today's professional players and football enthusiasts. This stamp is available for purchase at all Austrian postal branches and in the Austrian Post online shop.
