| Additional information |
Pakistan's aluminium coinage of the early 1970s coincided with one of the most catastrophic political fractures in the country's history. The 1971 issue fell squarely within the Bangladesh Liberation War, during which East Pakistan seceded following a brutal military crackdown and Indian military intervention. The Karachi mint continued production through the conflict, though the economic disruption was severe enough that circulation of small-denomination coinage became effectively academic in the eastern wing.
The denomination itself was already being phased toward irrelevance by inflation.
