Issued in 1980, this Austrian commemorative stamp celebrates "1000 Jahre Steyr" (1000 Years of Steyr), marking a millennium since the first documented mention of the historic city. The design by Otto Zeiller, engraved by Alfred Fischer, showcases a panoramic view of Steyr with its iconic medieval architecture, including churches and clustered rooftops nestled along the river. Rendered in sepia and black, the artwork evokes an antique aesthetic suitable for the city's long history. A notable example of Austria’s tradition of honoring cultural heritage through philately.
