| Reverse description | The reverse centres on a large intaglio vignette of the Badshahi Mosque in Lahore, rendered in blue with engine-turned guilloche borders; the frontal elevation faithfully reproduces the three bulbous white domes, four corner minarets and ornate Mughal facade in fine detail. The State Bank of Pakistan seal is set within an ornamental cartouche at upper left alongside the circular bank emblem. The legend 'STATE BANK OF PAKISTAN' runs across the top margin, with 'ONE HUNDRED RUPEES' inscribed along the lower edge. |

Pakistan Security Printing Corporation began producing domestic currency in Karachi following the country's transition from reliance on the India Security Press at Nasik — a geopolitically fraught dependency that the new state had been trying to unwind since 1947. This series, printed entirely in-house, was a deliberate demonstration of that self-sufficiency.
The 1971 secession of East Pakistan and the creation of Bangladesh forced an immediate reissue cycle; notes of this type carry date ranges straddling that rupture, issued into an economy still absorbing the shock of losing over half the country's population and its most productive export region in a single year.
