Issued in 1949, these stamps from Bahawalpur State commemorate the Silver Jubilee (1924–1949) of Nawab Sadiq Muhammad Khan V’s reign.

• The 3 Pies blue stamp depicts a major irrigation project, highlighting the vital role of waterworks in transforming agriculture in Bahawalpur.

• The ½ Anna red-orange stamp shows a bundle of harvested wheat, symbolizing prosperity and the agrarian strength of the region.

Both stamps feature a portrait of the Nawab wearing a fez and carry inscriptions in English, Urdu, and Arabic script. They form part of a larger commemorative series celebrating Bahawalpur’s progress under his rule. These issues are significant as they were among the last commemorative stamps before Bahawalpur integrated with Pakistan in 1949.
