Historic banknotes and milestones in Pakistan's note-keeping

Pakistan' s first banknotes were issued in 1948, shortly after independence, and bore the effigy of the country's founder, Muhammad Ali Jinnah. An important milestone was the introduction of the Pakistani rupee in 1961, replacing the Indian rupee. In 1972, another significant series followed the separation from Bangladesh. Over the years, the banknotes have reflected the country's rich history and culture, including images of historical monuments, national leaders and iconic landscapes, becoming true testaments to Pakistan's national identity.
