Burma King George V Definitive Issue

Burma · 1937 · Various (3 pies to 10 rupees)

This definitive series features a portrait of King George V, the reigning British monarch at the time. The stamps were issued for use in Burma, which was then a province of British India, just before its separation as a distinct Crown Colony. The design is a classic example of British colonial philately, with the monarch's effigy as the central element.

Issued in 1937, this set marks a significant political transition as Burma was separated from British India and became a distinct Crown Colony under British administration. These were the first stamps issued specifically for the newly separated territory.
