Celebrate the Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II with this booklet of 10 PermanentTM domestic rate stamps.
This commemorative stamp features the Royal Mail’s classic “Machin” profile of The Queen. It was created by sculptor Arnold Machin, O.B.E., R.A., for a definitive stamp first issued in 1967 that 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.”
A special jubilee emblem, created for use in Canadian celebrations, is used on the stamp issue and OFDC cancel. It was drawn by Cathy Bursey-Sabourin, Fraser Herald, of the Canadian Heraldic Authority.
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.”
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 Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s 70th anniversary as sovereign – and platinum jubilee celebrations will be held in Commonwealth countries around the globe. On February 6, 1952, the then-princess was just 25 years old, and the mother of two young children with her naval husband, The Duke of Edinburgh, when she ascended the throne on the death of her father, King George VI. Queen Elizabeth II is Canada’s longest reigning sovereign, a distinction she achieved in September 2015. In October 2016, she also became the world’s longest-reigning living monarch.
The Queen has appeared on more than 70 Canadian stamps over the past seven decades, as well as four stamps when she was Princess Elizabeth. This year’s stamp features the Royal Mail ’s classic “ Machin” sculpted profile of The Queen, created by Arnold Machin, O.B.E., R.A., for a definitive stamp first issued in 1967 and used on British stamps ever since. 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, even 55 years after the first stamp was issued. 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."
One of Machin’s portraits was also used on the obverse of Canadian coins from 1965 to 1989. This is the first time Machin’s profile of The Queen has appeared on a Canadian stamp.
