This Canadian 5¢ commemorative stamp, issued in 1963, honors the famed English navigator Sir Martin Frobisher (1535–1594), an important figure in early Arctic exploration. The design features a finely engraved portrait of Frobisher alongside one of his exploration ships navigating icy northern waters, set against a stylized map grid motif. Printed in crisp blue intaglio, the stamp is admired for its strong lines and historical significance within Canada’s exploration-themed issues. A desirable item for thematic collections such as Explorers, Maritime History, and Canada Classics.
