P#16 carries two signature fields by design — one in Latin script for Shakirullah Durrani, one in Urdu and Bengali for Mahbubur Rashid — because Pakistan was still constitutionally obligated to treat Bengali as a co-equal national language. Within months of this note's issue, that obligation became a casualty of the 1971 war. Bangladesh's independence in December of that year rendered the Bengali signature field not just obsolete but an inadvertent historical marker of the political fracture that split the country in two.

Notes from this series dated 1971 are noticeably harder to source than the 1970 issues.
