Issued in 1897 to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee, this Canadian 1 cent orange stamp presents a dual portrait of Queen Victoria — as a young monarch in 1837 and as the aged sovereign in 1897. The design symbolizes 60 years of reign, flanked by ornate maple leaves and crowned emblems. Printed by the American Bank Note Company, it marks one of Canada’s most celebrated commemorative issues, representing both national pride and imperial heritage. Collectors prize this stamp for its historical depth and elegant engraving.
