Is it on card?
If so it may be a German-Prussian/Austrian Postcard stamp.
See scan of likewise stamps.
Otherwise maybe an import tax stamp?

The crown on the image looks a lot like the crown of St. Stephen. Is it Hungary?

This crown, with the tilted cross on top, is the Holy Crown of Hungary, St. Stephan's Crown.
This appears to be a printed revenue indicia, based on the paper, probably printed directly on a bank cheque or draft to pay revenue fees (taxes). The crown and the denomination in kreuzer indicates it is Hungarian.

As a general rule (there are exceptions) if you see burelage (the stripy background) it is a revenue stamp. Burelage is used an additonal security feature because it is hard to reproduce (or at least it was when that stamp was printed). I agree with Roy that it is the indicia. That means that it is the part of the stamp that has the value. The whole stamp would be larger.
