North Borneo 3 cents (1954 definitive)
This stamps shows a coconut grove. Due to the location of Sabah in the tropics, you can easily find coconut trees growing along the sandy beaches. Although I do not know when coconut was initially cultivated in North Borneo, but by the time this stamp was issued, around 40,000 acres of coconut plantations existed.
