From April 1, 1966, the Kathiri Sultanate of Seiyun, also called Kathiri Sultanate of Hadramoaout, changed its then-series of postal stamps in 1954 with the bilingual wording "South Arabia" with the values in the new currency from 5 fils (5 cents) to 500 fils (10 shillings).
It must be said that the postal issues citing "South Arabia" from Kathir State of Seiyun, Qaiti State of Shihr and Mukalla, and Mahra State of Qishn and Socotra were not the same as those of Upper Yafa or the Federation of South Arabia.
Seiyun would continue to issue in 1968 when the administration of the Popular Republic of South Yemen had already taken control of the country.
