Comments

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.
