Another cover from Austria with a postcrossing postcard (postcard #27) inside. Thank you so much Birgit.

This is the third circulated envelope I receive without any sort of cancellation on the stamps or the envelope itself. It's much better than a pencil or pen cancellation but without the postmark, the envelope  looks rather... naked.

Anyway, it's of course not Birgits' fault, and she did use some nice stamps, that I still hadn't received in any mail from Austria. 👍

The 0,80€ stamp was issued as a standalone piece on 19-10-201 and it depicts the T_Centre, a contemporary office building, located in the Sankt Marx section of the Landstraße, in Vienna. It was built between 2002 and 2004, and was conceived by Austrian architect Günther Domenig (Wikipedia to the recue).

The stamp is part of an annual series started in 2011, dedicated to Modern Architecture.

The two 0,12€ stamps are part of a definitive issue of 14 stamps, (0,10; 0,12; 0,80 - 4 different stamps; 0,90 - 2 different stamps; 1,35 - 2 different stamps; 1,80; 2,70 - 2 different stamps;4,20€) issued on 01JUL2018, with details of the coats of arms of  Austrian States and Cities. The 12 cent stamp depicts the Lion on the coat of arms of the Salzburg State.
