On 1 April 1948, RBI supplied the first batch of currency notes designed specially for Pakistan.
Indian currency notes and coins, over-stamped with 'Government of Pakistan' title, were used as legal tenders in the new state of Pakistan. New coins and banknotes of Pakistan were issued in April 1948. On 1 April 1948, the Reserve Bank of India and the Government of India issued provisional notes on behalf of the Government of Pakistan, exclusively for Pakistan.
These notes, which were printed by the India Security Press in Nasik, carried the words 'Government of Pakistan' in English and 'Hukumat-e-Pakistan' in Urdu at the top and bottom, respectively and bear the image of King George. However, the signatures on these notes remained those of Indian banking and finance officials. The notes were in the denominations of Re 1, Rs 2, Rs 5, Rs 10 and Rs 100 which were demonetised from 15 January 1952.
