The issuance of this special state definitive series is to recognise the head of State of Kelantan, His Royal Highness (HRH) Sultan Muhammad V, who is featured in this stamp series. HRH took the oath of office and signed the declaration on 13 Dec 2016. This issue is based on the design of the Garden Flowers definitive issue in 2007 (Garden Flowers issued on 31 Dec 2007 and Garden Flowers – Kelantan mini sheet issued on 24 Nov 2009). The earlier set of stamps for Kelantan includes the portrait of Sultan Ismail Petra, the Sultan of Kelantan at the time of stamp issue. This set of definitive stamps features the images of Sultan Muhammad V, alongside the Coat of Arms of Kelantan, and at different denominations :
