This 3 Pies blue stamp from Bahawalpur was issued in 1949 to commemorate the Silver Jubilee (1924–1949) of the state’s rule. The design features a fine portrait of Nawab Sadeq Mohammad Khan V, ruler of Bahawalpur, alongside a detailed depiction of an irrigation barrage — symbolizing the state’s dedication to agricultural and infrastructural progress. The crescent and star emblem adorns the upper right, representing Islamic heritage. A classic issue marking 25 years of Bahawalpur’s modern administration and development.
