Description
In 1939, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth visited the Dominion of Canada. Thus Canada had the signal honour of being the 1st of the Commonwealth nations to welcome the new King and Queen in person. To honour this historic occasion and add to the warm sincerity of Canada's welcome, the Post Office Department issues 3 special commemorative postage stamps to coincide with the tour throughout the Dominion. The stamps were printed in 2 colours each.
