Canada has a new King, so that means we get a fresh new stamp featuring the monarch.

On Saturday, Canada Post unveiled its first-ever stamp featuring King Charles III.

"The stamp continues Canada Post's long-standing tradition of issuing definitive stamps depicting the Canadian sovereign, dating back more than 170 years," said Canada Post in arelease.

Designed by Montreal studio Paprika, the stamp features a portrait snapped by photographer Alan Shawcross when the King was The Prince of Wales.

它们被称为“决定性的”邮票,这意味着they're for general use and will be reprinted, so they're not commemorative/limited quantity stamps.

The stamps announcements came on the same day that theRoyal Canadian Mint announced King Charles would replace his motheron Canadian coins and the $20 bill.
