About the Platinum Jubilee issue

This stamp issue marks the 70th anniversary – and platinum jubilee – of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Canada’s longest reigning sovereign.

About Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, as Queen of Canada, has appeared on more than 70 Canadian stamps during her reign. She also appeared on four Canadian stamps when she was Princess Elizabeth.

This year marks the 70th anniversary – and Platinum Jubilee – of the reign of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. No previous British monarch has reigned long enough to celebrate a platinum (70-year) jubilee. At just 25 years old, she ascended the throne on the death of her father, King George VI. On that day, February 6, 1952, came the proclamation from St. James’s Palace in London that “the High and Mighty Princess Elizabeth Alexandra Mary” was now “Queen of this Realm and of all Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith.”

About the design

This silver-toned commemorative stamp features the Royal Mail's classic "Machin" side profile of The Queen. Created by sculptor Arnold Machin, O.B.E., R.A., for a definitive stamp first issued in 1967, the Machin has been used on British stamps ever since. It is the first time that it has appeared on a Canadian stamp.

According to Robin Harris, an Elizabethan philatelist and editor of Unitrade’s Specialized Catalogue of Canadian Stamps, The Canadian Philatelist and the Corgi Times (collector newsletter):

“The United Kingdom’s iconic Machin series of stamps is the largest definitive series ever produced. Stamp collectors the world over collect and study this series perhaps more than any other series of stamps. New values required for postal rate increases, along with myriad colours and other printing differences, have resulted in more than 2,000 different specimens for both novice and specialist collectors.”

The words "Elizabeth II" and "Platinum Jubilee" printed in an elegant font adorn the stamp alongside the years "1952" and "2022". The stamp also features a unique jubilee emblem, created for use in Canadian celebrations by the Canadian Heraldic Authority and drawn by Cathy Bursey-Sabourin, Fraser Herald.
