| Additional information |
Pakistan's first coinage series, issued after partition in 1947, had to be produced entirely at foreign mints — the country had no mint of its own. The 2 Annas pieces from this run were struck at the Royal Mint in London and the Lahore Mint, the latter having been retained by Pakistan following the division of undivided India's minting infrastructure.
The anna system itself was abolished with decimalization in 1961, making this series the only anna-denominated coinage Pakistan ever issued.
