This set of three stamps features a portrait of Sultan Ibrahim I of Johore, who ruled from 1895 to 1959. The design is framed by an ornate border with the denomination at the bottom and the state name 'JOHORE' at the top. The stamps were printed on chalk-surfaced paper with a multiple script CA watermark.

Issued under British protection, these stamps represent the Malayan state of Johore during the colonial era. Sultan Ibrahim I's long reign spanned a period of significant economic development and political change, leading up to the formation of Malaysia.
