Description
This centennial commemorative stamp honoured the transfer in 1851 of the administration of postal service from Great Britain to British North America. It features the 1st postage stamp issued in 1851 by the Province of Canada. The first day of issue coincided with the stamp exhibition called CAPEX (Canadian Association for Philatelic Exhibitions). The Postmaster General, G. Edouard Rinfret, was the Honorary President. The central motif of the 15-cent stamp is a reproduction of the 1851 3-pence beaver design stamp designed by Sandford Fleming. This was the 1st 15-cent denomination since 1908. In 1951, the Department anticipated that the 15-cent denomination would be convenient to prepay postage on airmail letters to the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Europe. The colour approximated the red of the original 1851 3-pence stamp.
