This definitive stamp features the iconic 'Wilding' portrait of a young Queen Elizabeth II, facing right. The portrait is based on a photograph by Dorothy Wilding, giving the series its popular name. The denomination '4' is in the lower left corner, with 'CANADA' at the top and 'POSTES POSTAGE' at the bottom.

Issued shortly after her accession to the throne, this was one of the first Canadian stamps to feature Queen Elizabeth II and became a workhorse definitive stamp for domestic postage.
