| Additional information |
Pakistan's anna coinage had a short window of relevance — the anna itself was abolished when Pakistan decimalized in 1961, making this among the final anna-denominated issues ever struck. The series ran through the last years of the pre-Ayub civilian government and into the early martial law period following the 1958 coup, meaning pieces from the final year of issue were produced under a government that had suspended the constitution entirely.
