The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has officially unveiled the Rs75 commemorative banknote to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Pakistan’s Independence.
The Rs75 note is the second such banknote to be issued by the central bank. Earlier, the SBP issued the first and so far the only commemorative banknote in 1997 to mark Pakistan’s Golden Jubilee.
“The commemorative note will be available for public issuance on from September 30,” SBP tweeted on Sunday.
The banknote is predominantly green, complemented by shades of white and yellow. Green represents growth and development, which also derives inspiration from Pakistan’s Islamic identity. White, on the other hand, emphasises its population’s religious diversity.
“The note has portraits of Quaid-i-Azam, Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, Allama Iqbal and Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah to recognise and acknowledge their contribution in Pakistan Movement. The Markhor on the note’s reverse highlights our focus on environmental sustainability,” the SBP said.
