Pakistan's shift to aluminium for the 2 Paisa reflected acute pressure on the country's metal supply during a period of sustained economic strain following the 1965 war with India. The twelve-sided format, adopted to aid identification by touch among a largely illiterate rural population, followed a practical design philosophy also applied across several other low-denomination Pakistani issues of the period.
Production ran through the Bangladesh crisis and its aftermath — a rupture that cost Pakistan roughly half its population overnight when East Pakistan separated in 1971.
