This striking 2 shilling 6 pence stamp was issued by the Bailiwick of Guernsey in 1969 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Sir Isaac Brock (1769–1812), the famed “Hero of Upper Canada.” The design features the Canadian coat of arms flanked by red-coated soldiers, symbolizing Brock’s military legacy during the War of 1812. Surrounding the central emblem are the Union Jack, the Ontario provincial flag, and the modern Canadian flag—signifying Brock’s enduring link between Britain and Canada. A portrait of Queen Elizabeth II appears at upper right, marking the stamp’s British origin. The deep violet background adds solemn dignity to this bicentennial tribute.
