A country’s currency design is a ubiquitous component of its overall nation-brand which works as, in addition to as a legal tender, a visual reminder of the nation’s history, values and culture. This self-initiated project’s goal was to redesign Pakistan’s currency notes while exploring different possibilities in terms of patterns, motifs, personalities, layout and typography.
In the sub-continent currency designs revolve usually around one personality. For Pakistan it has always been Quaid-e-Azam, for India it’s always been Gandhi. Here we have a proposition by Lahore based designer Shan ul Haq that celebrates several major personalities who played pivotal roles in the making of Pakistan.
Backside of the banknotes.
Front of the banknotes.
The Designs in Detail:
Shan ul Haq’s designs are a blend of traditional and modern, with a striking minimalistic look much unlike Pakistan’s usual intricately patterned approach. Nevertheless enough elements from our current approach are preserved in the new designs. The traditional arabesque patterns as seen on our current notes make a showing on the new designs as well. The color selection is also reminiscent of our current notes; the 100 rupee bill, the laal note, is still red so as to facilitate the transition into the new system for the audience, the people.
For some reason, we don’t use our official name, ‘Islamic Republic of Pakistan’, on the banknotes. These ones make it a point to highlight our complete official name, as it is our country’s identity.
Why Vertical?
The majority of people hand over notes vertically when making purchases. All machines accept notes vertically. Therefore a vertical note makes more sense. While working on the project, there wasn’t an intention or motivation to send it as a proposal to the State Bank, but who knows!
Popping out of an ATM near you very soon…just kidding!
About the Designer
Shan Ul Haq is a communication designer from Lahore and his work focuses on concept design and branding. History appeals to him: he is a WWII historian and a collector, currently developing an alternative WWII ending in forms of info graphics and poster designs, inspired by Harry Turtledove‘s ‘Drive to the East’. Dowling Duncan’s Dollar Redesign served as a major inspiration for this project.
See more of this project on Shan’s personal website www.shanulhaq.co and Behance profile.
given the scenario, a more appropriate representation would be:
1. 50 rupee note: Rehman Malik
2. 100 rupee note: Sharmila Farooqui
3. 500 rupee note: Altaf Bhai
4. 1000 rupee note: Nawaz
5. 5000 rupee note Zardari
hahaha yes. then we’ll have new banknotes depending on the corruption scores of every new government!
And maybe you ought to have face value as an expression like:
Rs. 5000 – 25% Commission
Rs. 1000 – 15% Commission
etc….. 😉
Ye$Sssss 😀
500 rupee note: Altaf Bhai (Lol you think he is leader think again he is don dude)
Kb ane h Ya
Interesting design. However, I want to correct a factual inaccuracy. Most of the Cash accept / dispense modules used these days don’t take the notes vertically. Only the low end ones (designed for low volume casino usage) take the notes vertically nowadays.
And I would like to disagree with having anyone other than quaid-e-azam’s picture on pakistani banknotes. It would open the floodgates and very soon every successive govt would like to have its own heros on the notes. Think Bhutto, Zia, BB, Abba jee, and (gulp) Altaf Bhai on the notes 😐
thanks for that info, much appreciated. As for the multiple personalities, you do have a point. But then again if PPP wanted to have Benazir’s picture on some note to go with the renamed isloo airport, who would be there to stop them right? its Pakistan afer all.
Never think that it’s Pakistan. You should think that how can we stop these actions. If PPP was to issue a currency note with BB’s photo then we would have been doing protests.
I got the same opinion in my mind after casting a glance on cited proposal by shan. Totally agree with u
I love it, these design are awesome, I probably think that because I really hate the current design, in this design I don’t really like notes vertical but the design is good and I really appreciate the idea of putting faces other then jinnah on the note again I don’t like bunch of politician on it, what about writer, musicians and common people. like why not put Nazia Hassan on 20 rupees note,
yep. people who have truly contributed to this nation. like mr M M Alam, Parveen Shakir and others.
The leading view is awesome and really faddy but I think that 500 & 1000 rupee notes should have some lively look with some rich colors. They look as printed with a two color toner.
Also, If they put a 2D sketch of any historical building or some texture then it will be more apt.
However the change is very appreciable and likeable and I wish that I get my first pay with these notes 😛
As a concept designer myself I am highly impressed with this work. But I have a suggestion if you won’t mind. There is a lot of opportunity to explore Plastic Currency. Like developed by Australia, Nepal and other nations. Which is made up of plastic pallets and an amazing process of making them.
Cheers
Thanks! Yep, plastic – or polymer – currencies are all the rage withe their fancy security features and durability. Great idea.
wow! thanks guys!
Ya we always think that there in pakistan also introduce a plastic currency like Australia or malaysia bcoz here we live in malaysia and currency looks great.
@Adnan Jabbar.
Thankyou, as a concept, these can be printed on plastic, polymer currencies.
Minimal banknotes, ZOMG!! Too bad they ain’t gonna happen.
if the front in vertical so why is the back horizontal
Well as far as Bilal’s comments are concerned as he doesn’t like “a bunch of politicians” on it, what else do you want???
Country was made by “a bunch of politicians” rather than a a musical group… For God sake don’t ruin the currency notes by having pictures of musicians etc… Nazia Hasan was a good singer & one of the first pop artists, but that’s it… Can her work be compared to that of Mohammad Ail Jinnah’s???
My point of view is that currency notes should only have one picture & that of Quaid-e-Azam, simply because he has to be there… His work is undoubtedly brilliant & for that he should be credited till the Judgement Day… So please don’t bring the issue of changing the picture on the notes, as this is “the” one thing that’s been like it is since Pakistan came out of British rule…
However, as far as the designs of the currency notes are concerned, well the new ones are pretty good… & I’d also like to mention here that our current set of notes do state “Islami Jamhoriya Pakistan” a.k.a “Islamic Republic of Pakistan”…
These vertical designs have been out for a while now starting initially with the dollar.

be original desi design guy!! nevertheless, good effort!
Hi Maarib, have a look at the About the Designer bit, Shan cites that Dollar project as a major inspiration. 🙂
well acctually they don’t, the current notes only state, State Bank of Pakistan. ‘bank dolat pakistan’
حصولِ رزقِ حلال عین عبادت ہے!
Make sure this line is inscribed boldly!
yes, thanks for this Andeel!
how much time will it take to come in the banks…..
let’s push this so that this becomes part of PTI’s Naya Pakistan agenda, and then we can all merrily vote for them! 🙂
Guys this is a concept design! this is not gona end up at state bank of pakistan. or politicaly used by any parties.. And was never intended to be Publicized this way!
This is a self-initiated conceptual project, aim of both documenting and sharing. Self set up and self funded.
take it as art! take it as inspiration…
thats good and interesting.the design is beautiful and the personalities are the best
Well, firstly yes most of the people do hand in cash vertically, but you have to take into account that money while handed in vertically is still put into wallets horizontally. Therefore the width of your notes would be a concern for the wallet.
Secondly, please for the love of God, dont open up the debate to have multiple personalities on the currency note. You are just creating room for subjectivity on the matter. In no time, politicians will be on the face of our notes because people who you think are not worthy of depiction will definitely be worthy of depiction for someone else. The only personality in this country that DOES NOT divide opinions is Mohammad Ali Jinnah. For the love of God, please let it be like that. No need for fancy shenanigans.
Thirdly, why fix something which is not broken? I absolutely LOVE our currency notes. Believe me, hold up an Australian Dollar and then you’ll realize how good our currency note is.
Thanks for the words Shariq! You make interesting points.
As for your third point, this project really isn’t rallying for the current notes to be changed. This is just a design exploration by a talented designer! 🙂
at the backside of note please add the pictures of historical place sin Pakistan that new generation will get information about those places because they do not use to go to those places ……………
thanks, good idea.
Having an inspiration from the dollar and doing a complete rip-off are 2 separate things.. All the best but this is y desis dont develop – cuz they are mere copycats!
Desi Design, PLEASE don’t start using this design for PTI’s agenda. If you have any decency then keep your personal politics out of this design.
It’s the most retarded idea I have ever heard. Politics and art should remain seperate.
Hey, hey, hey. Not trying to push our political agenda. The comment was meant in good, sarcastic humor. :/
I have clearly mentioned this, even on my website and on behance page, that the front layout is inspired by dowling duncan’s dollar design.
still you can’t take away the thought process, research or the meaning attached to the project.
If you cant see what this project is all about please dont go on calling it simply a rip off..
good stuff and i personally would rather have ONLY Jinnah’s face featured. Not because im against the others projected here in any way…but i dont wanna give the other party yahoos to put up pics of *bibi shaheed* (all sarcasm intended) and the shaers of punjab on the notes..no thank u!
and IF there r others who do not want Jinnah’s pic there too (ofcourse by forgetting he IS the reason we have a land to call our own…even if in turbulent times atm) then fine..we can always have a Shaheen printed in various sizes depending on the amount stated on the note.
good work Shan Ul Haq..much appreciated efforts!
Love the concept – very clean and modern, not too sure if I like the vertical design though.
Anyone proof reading these designs? Fatima Jinnah is a founding ‘memember’? The zero in the 50 note has lost its place in the bottom left side.
That said… its an interesting design. But it needs security features that are mandatory… any thought on that?
I don’t support it, 100 pr koi leader 1000 pr koi, leaders kee qeemat lga rahay hain kia
Don’t you think now we need to break free from this paper currency spell ? Think.
Please put a scientist on one of the notes. Abdus Salam. Why? because they are the people that push humanity forward. The respect people pay to there scientists is evident by the many countries who have them on there money. Search them on Google.
you’re right. thanks for the input!
Our reputation around the world is sinking. I’m going to have to sew a US flag onto my backpack next time I’m travelling.
Very creative… I think it’s should be Allama Iqbal on 500.
You are mashAllah a very talented designer but you lost me in the “why vertical?” paragraph?
“The majority of people hand over notes vertically when making purchases. All machines accept notes vertically. Therefore a vertical note makes more sense.”
Lol you should have done needfinding analysis and storyboarding first with real people instead of making an assumption.
ڈیزائن خوبصورت ہے، لیکن کسی بھی کرنسی نوٹ کے ڈیزائن میں سب سے اہم چیز ہوتی ہے سیکیوریٹی کے عناصر، آپ کے ڈیزائن میں لوگوں کیلئے آسانی کا خیال ضرور رکھا گیا ہے لیکن اصلی اور نقلی نوٹ کے پہچان کے عناصر؟ اُن کی نشاندہی کسی بھی کرنسی نوٹ کو اہم یا غیر اہم بنا دیتی ہے، کوشش کریں کہ اِس ڈیزائن میں اُن عناصر کا خاص خیال رکھا جائے،
ایک اور چیز، آپ کے ڈیزائن میں ایک خرابی جو مجھے لگی وہ ہے رنگوں کا نسبتا زیادہ استعمال۔ آپ ساری دنیا کے نوٹ اٹھا کر دیکھ لیں، آپ کو ہلکے رنگ نظر آئیں گے۔ میری مُراد کرنسی نوٹ بنانے کی لاگت سے ہے-
بہرحال اچھی کوشش ہے، قابلِ داد
The design looks pretty modern, which is not bad thing.
I thought some more images (architecture, art, objects, monuments) would really enhance the design rather than just sticking to personalities.
Good for a concept.
i dont find any security feature here, this design make it easy to pirated
by the way nice design 😀
BRILLIANT!! I am really impressed by the simple yet effective design. Wish we could implement these!
Would be cool to have a currency design like that, so unique and colorful! but the vertical notes don’t make sense at all.
Looks like monopoly currency, you can do better people.
sorry to say it, but its look like “vertical identity card”.
Its just an exploration guys, but thankyou for the comments =)
Oookay, first of all, it really doesnt matter if this has been copied and bla bla bla, IT IS AN AMAZING CONCEPT.
“Naya pakistan, Naya pakistan” we are talking about now a days, then why not a proper naya pakistan???
And for the ones saying why different photos on different notes as it leads to degrading factor. So guys this is the thing, QUAID-E-AZAM FOUGHT FOR PAKISTAN, but he wasnt the one who gave the concept, who gave his sipiritual words to that generation. So please do give credit to them. I am in complete favour of these notes. Hope if we’ll push this concept, we’ll see the change.
By the way its the layout which is the main inspiration in the vertical design, the horizontal back side is as original as it gets…
so do the features and inclusions.. such as Braille and state emblem.
Nothing in the design process, is done half heartedly or without thought. the arabesque patterns especially are properly thought over adapted from vernacular design and art forms.
Finding appropriate images for the personalities wasn’t an easy phase, I had to go over history books and records to find the right images, unfortunately we don’t have a proper resource of high quality photographs over the internet.
you can check out these few bits from work in progress
Whta Mr. Allama Iqbal doing on the currency? and who will fbe f
Why are the numerals in arabic script? Why not use urdu?
Other than that it is perfect!
Looks like a cards for card games rather than a real currency. It also seem, the design has been inspired by the Euro Design, The notes look really fake. Its also missing something.
As over all its a great design but never be approved.
BHT BEHTAREEN NOTE DESIGN KIYA HAI JANAB.. OR BIOGRAPHY WALA IDEA BHT ZABARDAST HAI. BS 1 SUGESSION HAI QUAID.E AZAM WALAY NOTE KI BACK SIDE PER MAZAR E QUAID HOTA TO OR ACHA HOTA
Don’t open up the pandora box, it will boil down to Ajj Bhee Bhoto Zinda hee aur Zard-Ari sub pee bhariee and bughtee and Wali Khan as well………….
Great effort to copy USD new upcoming designs…
I really appreciate your effort but I think you people should make them a bit different from USD designs. You should also emphasize to make a symbol for our PKR..
میرے بھائی نوٹ کا ایک طرف بالکل سادہ ہے ۔ ایسا لگتا ہے جیسے کسی کمپنی کا لیٹر ہییڈ ہو۔ دوسری بات نوٹ پر صرف بابا ئے قوم کی تصویر ہونی چاہیئے ۔ اور پاکستان کی کسی قومی عمارت کی بھی تصویر ہونی چاہئےاور ڈیزائن بہت ہی زبردست ہے ۔۔
the design is amazing no doubt about it,new concepts are always loved by people but this design wont go with the actual currency rate of PKR, increment in currency rate is must.
wah kya bat he
Nice…
Simple and cute design !
good idea …….. Geo Pakistan
Love it. Somebody should seriously consider passing them on to the SBP.
Good effort, but they don’t really look like currency notes. More like enlarged postage stamps or cheques. They even remind me of Monopoly money.
I quite like the current Pakistani rupee notes, although I do think we should use images of different notable personalities in addition to Quaid-e-Azam.
(One minor observation – the numerical “5” on the Urdu side of the design is the Arabic number, not the Urdu one which looks like an inverted heart shape.)
I think the design is very good, but seems a bit impractical with the usual horizontal version. How will the vertical notes fit in ones wallet??? they must be kept horizontally, of course, until you propose a new design for the wallets too..
And just as Mr Shariq Noor pointed out, our notes are already made up of extremely good design. The notes fulfill all the criterias and are equisite in design and structure if compared against other currencies perhaps hong kong dollar, or AUD for instance
Regards,
Burhanuddin Husain
Design is awesome, but our leader must have to be there on the currency all the way, else the design is junk and wastage of time after 60 years.
significantly, political parties would also insist to put their political head faces as well.
Therefore to keep it simple this effort is not required.
your Design is so pretty, but i think you didn’t care about the security of Currency, that is the main point, you must do some thing about security,
but appreciated your invention.
Regards,
I would proffer following suggests
> whatever would be design all currency notes should have same size
> only the presidents or governor generals pictures should be displayed as being printed on dollar notes.
> being islamic country pictures of females shouldnt be printed on currency notes.
> the currency should have one colour design and not the cheap colourfull design such designs are usually used in illetrate and wild africa
regards
Anees – ur -Rehman
like it but govt of pakistan kia khe rahe hy…
reminds of Monopoly money and a bit of Euro too. What I like is the image of different noteworthy personalities on different notes. And yes that Vertical idea looks cool!
SBP should learn about this 🙂
SBP Mean…??? Mrs sana jamaL…
ES my 1 side to thek hy different Pic wale
But dosri said par 1 Flag hona chaye small sa or Different bullding hone chaye gasy Quaid ka Mazar or mashor Places
The idea to place faces that are the foundation of our Country is good and commendable. I suggest also place the places in a collage or a group of 2 or 5 at the back in the a collective mosaic. Also include aspect of the latest security features (look at Swiss Frank) and improve the design.
Once the design has been perfected. Launch a petition for all Pakistan to make recommendations and gather as many signatures in support of this move as you can. Once that is all done and a new government comes to power, send that in to the Ministry of Finance and the governor State Bank of Pakistan along with petition signatures.
In Shaa Allah. Your dream will come true.
creative idea i appreciate u for that but i think there must be only 1 pic on all currency notes the founder of that country no doubt the personalities u mentioned contribute a lot more in the making of pak and i hope state bank will inspired from ur idea good job
Too much owsum work………………………..
soooo much appreciation frm my side…. 9 any suggestion in improvmrnt bcz I thnk which man cn do dis he has lot of options whn he was designing this…………… it cnt be cmplt widot loose cnsntration………… in d End!
Simply Owsum work
thanks Bilal!
OUR COUNTRY IS DOING NOTHING BUT ONLY CHANGING CURRENCY AGAIN AND AGAIN
ITS GOOD BUT ONCE NOT AGAIN AND AGAIN.
THEY ARE PLAYING WITH PEOPLE ,
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EU_aB6BEiPA/TftA6gmGIAI/AAAAAAAAByU/BeGlbgE_Dy8/s1600/DowlingDuncan_BankNotes_Set_lores.jpg
are these copied from here?
The thing to avoid at all cost in this should be to ban any inclusion of past or present political figures. Only the founding fathers from the beginning of Pakistan and its struggles and notable figures in our history.
Thank you so much everyone, for the critique and comments, I appreciate it deeply =)
i think if we make new pakistan then this is necessarily to make every thing new this make us new courage Hope and determination to do our best for pakistan and keep pakistan great in front of the world to project our soft image…
please my brother and big brother’s pray for the great pakistan and take a part for progressive pakistan spread the positivity instead of negativity….
You done well with currency notes. Could you please use Quaids photo with sharwani (national dressing) rather than in Pent coat. that would be good.
There is a line between inspiration and plagiarism. This one crosses the former. The cultural esthetic of the indopak region is vastly different than that of the west.
We are heavy on ornamentation whereas the west goes for clean lines and a less is more approach. Just look at our state emblem logo and other coins/notes from the past. We have our own distinct sense of style, our own caliagraphy and our own sense of beauty.
The public will never be able to relate with it.
This is good job of plagiarism but not a good job in design. You should be ashamed that you copied something so blatantly and then labeled it as inspiration.
Front side of the note is an adaptation from Dowling Duncan’s Dollar Redesign, which prompted as an inspiration in the designing the front layout. I have repeatedly cleared this out, the hopes of this project was feedback and purely experimental,
I hope this defines the line between inspiration and plagiarism.
“We have our own distinct sense of style, our own caliagraphy and our own sense of beauty.
The public will never be able to relate with it.”
I appreciate your point, your critique is well received.
——————————–
This project is not the new design of our country’s currency. This is a individual, self-initiated conceptual project, aim of both documenting and sharing. Self-set-up and self-funded. The project holds no bearing with the governmental system or any political party. I am tired of clearing this out.
I think it good to have all the heros of the pakistan movement, but not after that. chalo acha hai har buray kaam main quaid e azam istimaal hotay thay abbb subb istimaal hongay…. kiya seen hoga jaali degree k 500 iqbal, signal tornay ki rishwat aik fatima jinah dai dau…. ha ha ha
Epic flop fail design.
Concept is good , but would like to add one more thing, please be noted that we don’t have a vibrant currency denotation sign for its recognition worldwide , we would also have to derive a well designed currency sign for pakistani currency also
No offence but somebody has skipped step 1, much needed move/reform is to witness an efficacious & strategic design of economy instead. if it takes place then only one should think about having Fancy piece of papers in the pocket. you guys are getting too emotional for nothing. its just a waste of time on an illogical issue, you cant make a Armani professional attire unless and until somebody procure you superior quality of cotton.
And then, one day there would be banknotes with Nawaz Sharif, Zardari, BIbi, Bhutto, Altaf Bhai pics……… Not a very good idea.
Though the design is awesome. But there should only be Quaid-e-Azam every time.
Ausome concept !! Amazing design .Wish it could be a reality .
Thank You everyone..
yar ye note lunch kab ho gai
when these bank notes will come

This is not Good…q k pakistan ki Economy pehly say bht zeyada Down ja rahi hi….Is Notes k anay Say Or B bht zeyada Down hogi…q k currency change krny say pakistan ki currency value pay bht zeyada asar paray ga….

Does Dowling Duncan from the Dollar Redesign ring any bells.

Oh sorry it was just an inspiration!!!!
Could you please give me the template for the sample money?
i think its design for design sake only. No real purpose. i don’t see Pakistan anywhere? i don’t see culture anywhere? its a modern design of a nice looking fashion exhibition cloth tag. need years of work. sorry being blunt and straight.
yOU SHOULD ARRANGE COPYWRIGHT OR PATENT FIRST OR IT WILL BE STOLEN BY OUR GOVT. COZ SAME THING HAPPENED WITH ME IN PAST
I Like the Concept, if you follow the footsteps of others you can’t introduce anything new, likewise, according to my information all the banknotes in this age are horizontal, so introducing the Vertical One is a great idea,
and also I think after the Great Quaid-e-Azam , is Dr, Abd-ul-Qadeer who give us strength so I Think we should add only Quaid-e-Azam and honorable Dr. on the currency notes, through this we can add a barrier to all other politicians and other heroes to put up their photos on the notes.
images wow!
currency note colourful hona chahiye.
shape horizontally ho.front side pr sirf Quaid ki picture ho.back side pr pakistan ki different yadgari places ki picture ho.hr 5 years k baad koi aur important place ki image with short history de di jaye
ye sub cruncy bohat alla hx back sied simpal hy is lea back pay koi emrar yaa fort ke pics ho tu kamal ke cruncy lagy gi ye
ye cruncy….muge bohat pasand i hy back simpal hy bus back sied note ke payri kary koi place….ke pic ho yaa emarat ke yaa pakistan k forts ke pics hn tu fir cruncy noets zabrdast lagy gay
In currency par fatima jinnah ka koi concept nahi banta balke in jagah par sir syed ahmed khan ya molana m.ali johar hona chaheye… Like 50 sir syed ya m.ali johar 100 liaquat ali khan, then allama iqbal, then quaid e azam.
It’s great idia I think writing should be on both languages. Urdu and English. Plus every not must have Qaid Muhammad Ali Jenah on one side of the note. As he’s supreme leader of country and it’s also a symbol of nationalism as it’s also in West like Britain qeeen is always on one side of the Currency note and other side has different national figures. And adding these lines حصولِ رزقِ حلال عین عبادت ہے! would really be an ice on cake
How about the parliament building for 5000. Expresses solidarity with democracy.
Our National language is Urdu that the designer forgot to consider. A country where almost half of the population is able to read and write, how could we expect about reading English as well.
and conceptually, currency notes never depicts personalities, they depict the sceneries/landscapes etc. There is a science behind it which is an invitation to the country, not the bibliographies of those who have lead our independence.
Any ways, I appreciate the effort, as our current design and quality is absolutely third class. Even the previous design was far better.
pakistan ki saqafat ahm emaat of pakistan ka culture or faslain in main sy kuch b nhi is main just pictures hain or figures hain 2nd ik side verticle and ik horizontl hai
i love this new style of currency & it’s simple and gorgeous but somehow it look like a cinema or a train ticket but i am glad to see this and till 2015 it should come to pakistan! EXCITED!!!
currency sample is good,but seriousness of currency should be highlighted and safty project should be alert.moreover historical places,rivers,new point places of pakistan should also……picture of heroes of history should be available,but not present leaders or such like bhutto family or altaf hussain.
ALLAH KOI JALI NA BAYE
Interesting how these look like the proposed US currency redesign by Dowling Duncan back in 2010.
http://www.designboom.com/design/dowling-duncan-us-bank-note-designs/
basically this design is looking good but our people use gutka,main puri, etc. they will not care of it and do so dirty them. the note should be made by plastic.
Hey !!! Mr. Shaan ul haq where the currency notes of Rs.10 , 20 and 50 ???
Hm ko currency ka naam bhi change kr dena chaeye
worthless
These designs are amaizing no doubt about it
We are Muslim and living in pak Muslim country. Y not like Abu Dhabi or Saudi currency.
Total chapa of Dowling Duncan’s bank notes for the USA, I wonder Iqbal’s worth is just 100 while Fatima Jinnah’s 500 and the full name of Pakistan is broken into two lines same as on the dowling duncan’s good idea but totally copied you could make it perfect but you just copied with the same flaws Mr Shan ul Haq, and one thing more Dowling Duncan also copied it by the Swiss currency notes since 1995…
What ever State bank wants for currency but picture only one better on all notes and that is only Quid E Azam.
Now MQM is gonna say, Liaqat Ali Khan’s pic is on the least value note, because he is a Muhajir 😛
please find the reason on the coming notes. First side of note is portrait and the back side of note is landscape. Why?
And please find the date of issuing the New Currency Notes?
Cool design may Allah give us more sense.
