Can anyone help identify this one? I must first confess that I am only a casual collector of Canadian stamps. And I don't own any stamp catalogs. My primary source for identification is colnect.com which has worked well for me until I tried to find this stamp.
A very similar stamp to this one is the 1932-33 King George V "Medallion" Issue which also has a bust of him. Using Microsoft Paint, I have circled in red on this image two design features that the "Medallion" does not have. In addition, the words CANADA and CENT of this stamp have a much heavier / fatter font than that of the "Medallion”. Thanks.
REVISED: added another image showing a side-by-side of my unknown stamp with the fore mentioned Medallion Issue. I should have done this to start with as the side-by-side shows additional differences including height.
