This 5-cent commemorative stamp from Canada, issued in 1958, marks the centenary of British Columbia (1858–1958). It depicts a gold prospector panning in a mountain stream, symbolizing the Fraser River Gold Rush that sparked settlement in the region. The background features the province’s rugged landscape and the British Columbia coat of arms. The design celebrates both the pioneering spirit and natural wealth that shaped the province’s history. A fine example of mid-20th-century Canadian engraving and historical commemoration.
