Hey everyone. I was hoping you could help me with this cancel. I haven't seen one like it from Johore. I just know that the star and moon resembles that of the overprint found on the Two Cents brown. Thank you.

It's the official seal of Johore.(Sultan Ibrahim).Nice stamp though. (defective).
Johore was part of the Federated Malaya states.
My guess it was an official mail cancel. Revenue usage not excluded.
The Coat of Arms comprises a central shield, a crown, two supports and a motto.

The Crown symbolises the sovereignty of the Sultan. Four stars at the corners of the white shield represent the four original territories of the state which are Johor Bahru, Muar, Batu Pahat and Endau.

The star and the crescent moon in the middle symbolises Islam as the official religion. The two supports are represented by tigers as they symbolise courage and strength.

The graphic designs at the bottom of the shield represents gambier and pepper, the two main agricultural products of the state.

The motto for Johor, written in Jawi (Arabic script), means "Unto Allah, Resigned".
