Playing-card Tax Stamps in Austria from 1882 to 1939

The tax stamps in Austria had four different designs from 1882 to 1939, but all had their value at the bottom of the stamp. Besides the changes in currency denomination, there were also several changes regarding the tax amount.

In the table below you can find the dates and the tax values valid during that time. The tax amount depended on the number of cards in the pack and the quality of the cards.
