Pay tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and her famous Canadian Maple Leaf brooch with this booklet of 10 PermanentTM domestic stamps. The Queen has graced more than 70 Canadian stamps.
On the back of the booklet, in a photo taken during the 2010 Canadian Royal Tour, the Queen is shown wearing her iconic Maple Leaf brooch. King George VI gave the brooch to the Queen Mother in 1939, to mark the couple’s first Canadian Royal Tour. Queen Elizabeth II (then Princess Elizabeth) later wore it during her first Canadian Royal Tour in 1951. The tradition of wearing the brooch on a first royal tour of Canada has continued through generations with the Duchess of Cornwall doing so in 2009, followed by the Duchess of Cambridge in 2011.
Celebrate Queen Elizabeth II and her famous Canadian Maple Leaf brooch with this elegant Official First Day Cover.
On the front is an image of the magnificent brooch, and a domestic stamp featuring Her Majesty. The stamp is cancelled in Ottawa, Ontario, with a maple leaf image reminiscent of the brooch. On the reverse is a portrait of Her Majesty wearing the iconic brooch to mark Canada’s 150th anniversary in 2017.

The Queen graced her first Canadian stamp in 1953 and has since appeared on more than 70 Canada Post stamps.
The latest definitive honouring Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was designed by Steven Slipp, whose work has appeared on more than 20 stamps.
To bring a fresh approach to the latest stamp of Her Majesty, Slipp took an in-depth look at past issues featuring royalty. “It was a real philatelic education, researching and comparing the stamps of our monarchs over more than a century and a half,” he said. “It was also a time-warp for a print nerd like me to see how the techniques and technologies used to create stamps have evolved since the Queen’s coronation in 1953.”
Slipp focused his image research on recent photos to continue the visual narrative of Her Majesty’s reign, deciding on one from 2017. An important factor, he pointed out, was that the photo had to work at the diminutive dimensions of 20 by 24 mm. “I felt we could crop tightly to her face and have the hat brim frame this engaging portrait.”
