Canada Post issues new stamp for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
Issue continues more than a century of royalty featured on Canadian stamps

[New variety in Spring 2020; see below]

OTTAWA, Jan. 14, 2019 /CNW/ – Canada Post issued a new stamp paying tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, bearing a 2017 photo of the Queen taken in Portsmouth, England, by Chris Jackson. Queen Elizabeth II has appeared on Canadian stamps since the coronation issue was released in May 1953 – and was also featured on several stamps while still a Princess during the reigns of both King George V and King George VI.

Designed by Steven Slipp, the back of the booklet bears a photo of Her Majesty wearing the Canadian Maple-leaf brooch during her 2010 Royal Tour of Canada, a piece of jewelry worn during royal tours to Canada by several generations of women in the Royal Family.

The booklet of 10 stamps and the Official First Day Cover (OFDC, below) are available at canadapost.ca and at postal outlets across Canada. The OFDC was cancelled in Ottawa, Ontario.

Updated April 24, 2020 from Details magazine:

Now available is a limited run of the 2019 booklet of 10 PermanentTM stamps featuring Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, without the security feature underprint on the reverse under the adhesive.

A new philatelic article number was created for the reprint of the 2019 Queen booklet of 10 (411242210). Collectors with a standing order for reprints will automatically receive this booklet of 10. The stamp design has not changed. Note that the C is NOT underlined on booklets that DO NOT have the security feature underprint.
