The Admiral Issue marked Canada’s first long-running definitive set under King George V and stayed in use for nearly two decades.  With changes in perforations, papers, coils, war tax overprints, and booklet formats, the Admirals offer endless opportunities for specialization. 

The strong engraved portrait and bold frame design are considered classics of Canadian stamp design.
