This visually striking Canadian definitive trio celebrates the changing seasons through the iconic maple leaf, a national symbol rendered with artistic realism. Each stamp depicts the leaf in a different seasonal state—fresh green for Summer, vivid red amid forest litter for Autumn, and pale, weathered leaves representing Winter. Issued during a period of postal rate changes, these low-denomination definitives saw heavy everyday use, making well-centered, MNH examples increasingly desirable. The bilingual inscriptions (English/French) reflect Canada’s cultural identity and add philatelic charm. A classic thematic set ideal for nature, flora, and Canada collections.
