King George VI Definitive Issue

Burma · 1940 · 1 Anna

This definitive stamp features a left-facing portrait of King George VI, the reigning monarch of the British Empire. The design is framed with ornate scrollwork, with the country name 'BURMA' at the top and the denomination 'ONE ANNA' at the bottom.

Issued under British rule, this stamp was part of a series used across the empire, overprinted for use in Burma. It circulated during the early years of World War II, just before the Japanese invasion of Burma.
