King George VI Definitive

Burma · 1938 · 1a

This definitive stamp features a right-facing portrait of King George VI, the reigning British monarch at the time. The design is set within an ornate frame, with the country name 'BURMA' at the top and the denomination '1a' (one anna) at the bottom. This issue was part of a series used across British India and its territories.

Issued under British rule, this stamp reflects Burma's status as a province of British India until 1937 and its subsequent administration as a separate colony. The King George VI definitives were the standard postage for the period leading up to World War II.
