The orange / camel red mark in the foreground shows a Carinthian in national dress, who waves the red, white and red flag in front of a mountain landscape. Beneath his left arm, partially hidden by his form, is the Carinthian coat of arms. The Carinthian referendum in 1920 testified to the exemplary love of its people. It can be seen as an act of European pacifism, which found its visible expression in the fact that in the decades that followed, the frontier set by it remained one of the quietest in Central Europe and did not worry European diplomacy. The lively trade was a visible sign of this harmony. The special stamp series was to make its contribution to ensuring that this trend continued in the post-war years. A series of special stamps on the Carinthian referendum was published as early as 1920, with the proceeds of the new special stamp series dedicated to the expansion and new construction of schools in mixed-language areas.
