Description

Since the regular issue postage stamp designs had not been changed for 16 years, the Department decided in 1928 to issue a new definite series featuring a contemporary portrait of King George V. Accordingly the Post Office Department instructed the Canadian Bank Note Company to prepare a new series of lower denominations with portraits of the sovereign. The harmony of the designs did not prevent showing the denominations in large figures, easy to read. Scroll work replaced the crowns on the design, and the stamps were bilingual with the words "postes" and "post."
