| Comments |
The 1 Rupee note has been a Government of Pakistan — not State Bank — obligation since Partition, signed by the Finance Secretary rather than a central bank governor. This explains the parade of bureaucratic signatories across the series: these are Treasury instruments, and a change in the Finance Secretary's chair meant a new signature variety. The 1984–2002 production run at the Pakistan Security Printing Corporation in Karachi generated at least nine distinct signature combinations, making this an unusually productive hunting ground for variety collectors working a low-denomination note.
The "Type B" reverse designation distinguishes the Urdu text layout from an earlier arrangement — a revision prompted by standardization efforts rather than any reissue event.
