International Reply Coupon (IRC): kr 5,00 1929 Type C (London UPU Congress 1929) with only "C22" in upper right corner, smaller text in lower corners, and text differences (compared to earlier printings of 1929 type) on reverse. "ISLANDE - ISLAND" printed in blue and denomination "Kr. 5,00" printed in blue. Even though this is the "1929 type", this type/denomination was being sold well into the 1960s, even after the 1964 "Vienna" Type D was released. This example was sold and postmarked on left side at REYKJAVIK 17 April 1961. This is in "Mint" (NH) Postmarked VF condition and was never redeemed for stamps to mail a letter. (If it had been redeemed to mail a letter -- thus "Used" -- there would be another postmark, on the right side.) Icelandic examples of the 1929 Type are remarkably hard to find; all Icelandic IRCs are very much sought after. REPRESENTATIVE image of stamp design. |
