| 1 | All items listed were printed by De La Rue. |
| 2 | The British Royal coat of arms was included in error in the banner on the 1893 1c post card and reply card. The protected State of Perak having its own ruling Royal family, the coat of arms was rapidly removed and the cards replaced. |
| 3 | The design with the side view of the Sultan in the 1936 issues of postage stamps and postal stationery was unrecognisable and nothing like the essays produced by the Straits Settlements & Federated Malay States Government Survey Department. De La Rue claimed they took the image from an approved photograph they had obtained in London but nevertheless the design was replaced as soon as was practical by the full face image of the Sultan. |
