Canada postage stamps year 1927 – Personalities set MNH stamps full set
The Canada 1927 “Personalities” set is actually a portion of a larger commemorative issue known as the Diamond Jubilee of Confederation set, issued to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Canadian Confederation (1867-1927).
The stamps in this set that feature “Personalities” (specifically, figures important to Confederation) are the higher-denomination stamps:
| Scott # | Denomination | Featured Personalities | Description/Notes |
| 146 | 10 Cents | Sir George Étienne Cartier | A Father of Confederation, representing Quebec. |
| 147 | 12 Cents | Sir Wilfrid Laurier & Sir John A. Macdonald | Prime Ministers, representing post-Confederation leaders. |
| 148 | 20 Cents | Robert Baldwin & Sir Louis-Hippolyte LaFontaine | Leaders of the movement for Responsible Government. |
| 149 | 50 Cents | The Fathers of Confederation | Group portrait, specifically based on the painting by Robert Harris. |
| 150 | $1 | Queen Victoria | The reigning monarch at the time of Confederation. |
The full set (Scott #141 to #150) also includes lower denominations featuring scenes of the Fathers of Confederation, a map of Canada, and the Parliament Buildings. When collectors refer to the “Personalities set” or the “Historical set”, they most often mean the high-value commemorative stamps (#146-#150 or sometimes #146-#148) which feature portraits of key historical figures.
