| Additional information |
Pakistan's first coinage after Partition in 1947 was a logistical emergency. With no functioning mint of its own, the new government contracted the Royal Mint in London and the Bombay Mint to produce its inaugural series. The "crescent opens to right" distinction exists because two die orientations were used across the production run, creating a collecting variant that reflects nothing more than manufacturing inconsistency across two facilities operating simultaneously under tight postwar demand.
