Cinderella Corner in the latest issue of
Stamp News featured the item below, with a request for comments from Tony Presgrave:
This is a charity stamp from Thailand. It says "King Taksin the Great" (top line) "Community Support Fund" (bottom left) and "1 baht" (bottom right).
For information about King Taksin, see
