I have come across many stamps especially those issued by Australia, to mark Queen Elizabeth II's birth anniversary. These stamps are among my interests.

But the Queen has two birthdays, her actual birthday on 21 April and her official birthday on a Saturday in June. So, when are the stamps which commemorate her birthday issued?

Are they issued to mark April 21 or to mark her official birthday?

Thanks
Kaushik :)

The Ausralian ones are usually issued in April, though not necessarily on the 21st

Yes, Australia's issue are usually issued in April to mark the Queen's actual birthday.

However in 2002, 2003 and 2012 the Queen's Birthday issue was merged with an issue to celebrate the Queen's Golden and Diamond Jubilees.
