This stamp marks a significant institutional evolution in the unified administration of Hejaz and Nejd, prominently featuring the Tughra (royal calligraphic monogram) of King Abdulaziz Al Saud. Below the monogram, the illustration includes two crossed palm trees, a quintessential symbol of Arabian heritage representing life, abundance, and the resilience of the desert people. The dual use of Arabic and French ("Postes-Hedjaz & Nedjde") reflects the kingdom's emerging engagement with the international community and the Universal Postal Union.
