VIENNA, Austria (AP) -- California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger can expect a €1 ($1.25) birthday gift from the postal service in his home country.

A stamp of that denomination honoring the Austrian-born movie star-turned-politician will be released July 30, Schwarzenegger's 57th birthday, the postal service said in a statement on its Web site.

The stamp features a portrait of a serious-looking Schwarzenegger in a suit and tie in front of the U.S. and Austrian flags. It also bears his name, the word Austria in English and the number 100, signifying that it is worth 100 cents.
