| Additional information |
Pakistan's 1979 coinage reforms coincided with General Zia ul-Haq's Islamization program, which systematically overhauled state symbols across currency, law, and public institutions following his 1977 coup. This particular rupee is the heavier, wider variant distinguished from the later reduced-specification type by its KM#57.1 designation — the downsizing came quickly, reflecting ongoing pressure on Pakistan's industrial costs and metal procurement during a period of acute economic strain.
