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.
