The stamp was titled\"ARRIV ƒE DE CARTIER Ð QU ƒBEC 1535\" (Arrival of Cartier Ð Quebec 1535), as inscribedbeneath the image. It was designed by Jos Ž Antonio Machado and originally engraved by Elie Timoth Že Loizeaux, as evidenced by the horizontal lines that areindicative of traditional intaglio printing or lineengraving. The image depicts the arrival of Champlain's predecessor, French explorer Jacques Cartier, in the St. Lawrence River near the Iroquoian village of Stadacona. An application of modern colour mimics the brown colour of the original issue, while the double dates \"1608\" and\"1908\" and the words \"IIIE CENTENAIRE DE QU ƒBEC\" reflect the city's tercentenary. Like the 1908 stamp, your coin also includes ornamental flourishes and the words \"CANADA POSTAGE\" atop the framed image, while the stamp's original denomination is represented by the number \"20\". The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDid you knowÉ\u003cbr\u003eThe original design's horizontal lines were the product of intaglio printing and anearly security feature, since the raised ink effectwas more difficult to replicate.\u003cbr\u003eThe three ships are those of Cartier'ssecond voyage (1535-1536): Grande Hermine, Petite Hermine and Emerillon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"J\u0026M Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40785014358091,"sku":"RCM.CA.SV.CN.003079","price":150.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0556\/2872\/6347\/files\/4769726_Full_Obv_43c924f0-ddd2-4340-9af4-84706e589457.jpg?v=1717053713","url":"https:\/\/jandmcoins.com\/products\/canada-silver-2019-d20-20-cent-stamp-arrival-of-cartier-pf-1_024oz_-_9999","provider":"J\u0026M Coin \u0026 Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
