Currency Today : Pakistan 01

There are few countries that keep their banknote designs for so long as Pakistan.
For over 10 years, the look of the Pakistani notes haven't changed much.
Nevertheless there are some differences to find, if you like to extend your collection.

At first I like to start with a note that is NOT in circulation anymore.
But since it's in the style of the rest of the notes, I like to add it to this post.


The only changess to most notes is the date of issue (1) and the signature (2).

On the obverse side, all notes have the image of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, (25 December 1876 – 11 September 1948).
He was a lawyer, politician and the founder of Pakistan. Jinnah served as the leader of the All-India Muslim League from 1913 until Pakistan's independence on 14 August 1947, and then as Pakistan's first Governor-General until his death. He is known in Pakistan as Quaid-i-Azam ("Great Leader") and Baba-i-Qaum, "Father of the Nation"). His birthday is considered a national holiday in Pakistan.

The dates on the notes of this series start in 2006 until now.
Almost every year, a note was issued (except for the 5 Rupees, that only was issued in 2008, 2009 and 2010).

Some of the signatures that appear on the notes :
signatures 11 to 16
For the 5 rupees - note above, signature 15 is used.

Signature 15 on 5 rupees of Pakistan
The 2009/10-notes have signature 16.
The reverse side of the note shows the Gwadar Sea Port.

Gwadar Sea Port
Gwadar is a port city on the southwestern coast of Balochistan, Pakistan. The city is located on the shores of the Arabian Sea opposite to Oman.
