This was part of a color change group issued in September 1932. If your 50g stamp is Bright Violet, it was one of the initial reduced-size “Small Landscapes” issued in March 1932, and it features the Silvretta Mountains. This definitive series provides a wonderful pictorial tour of Austria’s provinces and is highly representative of the country’s philately between the world wars.
