Another International Reply Coupon

International Reply Coupons for Burma are scarce and rarely seen on online auctions. Richard Warren reported one coupon with 4 annas value cancelled 30 May 1941 in Fantail 30. Another IRC with 62 pyas denomination (VINNEA type) was acquired recently and it is good to report here. It is cancelled “RANGOON GPO / TREAS” on 14 Sept 1971.

The so called Vienna type of IRC‘s, launched by the UPU at the end of 1965 and early 1966 as a result of the UPU Congress held in Vienna 1964. This type lasted until 1975. To verify the sub-type one has to study the reverse as well as the obverse. This coupon is (Vienna) type VI-XX.
