Description: The 4-cent King George VI Mufti stamp was released by Canada Post to serve as a reliable workhorse for standard domestic and international postal brackets. The elegant portrait medallion highlights the sovereign facing forward, framed by an oval ribbon containing the bilingual text "POSTES CANADA POSTAGE" in prominent serif typography. Flanked by stylized corner scrolls at the top, the lower frame balances the composition with mirrored "4" numeral boxes anchored by a central "CENTS" title bar. Intricately line-engraved by the Canadian Bank Note Company in Ottawa, this specific layout reflects a deliberate shift toward contemporary, approachable royal portraits during the pre-war era.
Circa: 1937-1942
Condition: Used
Notes:
The series earned its enduring "Mufti" nickname because it uniquely portrays the king wearing a crisp business suit, collared shirt, and necktie instead of formal military dress.
