Centennial Definitives (1967–1973 Canadian stamps)

The Centennial definitives are Canada's regular-issue stamp series introduced on February 8, 1967 for the centenary of Confederation. The first issue had twelve stamps: the low values combine a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with a regional view of Canada, and the higher values reproduce paintings of Canadian scenes by Canadian artists. The series grew to 16 values and is known for many paper, gum, perforation and tagging varieties.
