| Obverse description | A panoramic vignette of the Shalimar Gardens in Lahore occupies the central field, rendered in fine intaglio line work with formal terraced gardens, cypress trees, and Mughal pavilions receding into the background. The State Bank of Pakistan circular seal appears to the right, while Urdu numerals and the denomination in large Nastaliq script are set in the lower portion against a guilloche underprint. The bank title in Urdu occupies the upper cartouche, flanked by corner numerals in both Eastern Arabic and Western Arabic forms. |

| Reverse description | The central vignette presents a sweeping aerial view of the funerary monuments of the Makli Necropolis near Thatta, Sindh, with domed mausoleums, arched gateways, and subsidiary structures rendered in detailed intaglio engraving against an arid landscape. The bank title in Roman script arches across the top of the central cartouche, with the denomination repeated in Bengali script above and in Roman lettering along the lower border. Corner numeral tablets and an intricate guilloche border frame the composition on all sides. |
