The Pakistani 75-rupee note is a denomination of the Pakistani rupee.
History
editThe banknote was introduced by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) in August 2022 to commemorate Pakistan's 75 years of Independence.[1] The banknote is the second of its kind, following the issuance of a commemorative banknote in 1997 to mark Pakistan's golden jubilee.[1]
In April 2023, it was reported that the 75-rupee banknote has faced challenges in gaining widespread acceptance as a legal tender.[2]
Features
editThe 75-rupee banknote predominantly features the green color, accompanied by shades of white and yellow.[1] The green color symbolizes growth and development, reflecting Islamic identity of Pakistan.[1] The presence of white highlights the religious diversity within the country's population.[1]
Obverse
editThe obverse side of the banknote displays portraits of significant figures, including Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Syed Ahmad Khan, Muhammad Iqbal, and Fatima Jinnah.[1][3]
Reverse
editThe reverse side of the banknote showcases images of the Markhor and Deodar trees.[1] These images symbolise Pakistan's commitment to addressing the challenges posed by climate change and its consequences.[1][3]
