Malaysia Definitive Series - State Crests

Malaysia · 1965 · 15 sen

This definitive stamp from Malaysia features the coat of arms of the state of Perlis. The design is dominated by a shield surrounded by a wreath of paddy, symbolizing the state's primary agricultural product. This issue was part of a larger series where each stamp showcased the unique crest of one of Malaysia's states.

Issued in 1965, this series celebrated the individual identities of the states within the newly formed Federation of Malaysia, which was established just two years prior in 1963.
