Canada Post Honours Leonard Cohen

CANADA POST set of four Official First Day Covers (FDC) featuring acclaimed Canadian writer and musician Leonard Cohen. One Official First Day Cover bears all three Permanent domestic stamps from this issue, while the others feature the oversized-rate stamp, the U.S.-rate stamp and the international-rate stamp, respectively.

The stamps are postmarked in Cohen’s home city of Montréal, and each Official First Day Cover is cancelled with a different pictorial cancellation, inspired by art from his albums. The issue date of September 21, 2019, was chosen to coincide with the 85th anniversary of Cohen’s birth in 1934.
