About this banknote
The "Government of Pakistan" issued this 1 rupee note in 1948, shortly after the country gained independence in 1947. This series was introduced to replace the earlier Indian currency notes, facilitating the transition to a new national monetary system.
The front of the note prominently features a design with "Government of India" crossed by an inscription for "Government of Pakistan." It displays King George VI in profile, indicative of the transition from British rule. The back includes multiple languages around a stylized coin motif, representing currency denominations. It is cataloged as Pick 1, a significant part of Pakistan's numismatic history.
