The denomination and issuer name appear in English across the lower register. A fine guilloche underprint frames the central architectural vignette. |

Pakistan's first domestic security printer, the PSPC facility in Karachi, came online during this note's lifespan — which is why P#18 exists in both De La Rue-printed and PSPC-printed varieties. The two are distinguishable by subtle differences in impression quality and serial number typography, and the PSPC issues generally post-date the mid-1960s as Pakistan worked to reduce dependence on foreign printing contracts.
The series ran until the 1971 political crisis that split East Pakistan away as Bangladesh, after which a complete currency reissue followed. Notes bearing Dhaka as an overprint or branch designation carry additional collector interest for that reason.
