10 Rupees

Pakistan's earliest banknote series — including this 10 Rupee — was issued under considerable urgency. At Partition in 1947, the new State Bank inherited no printing infrastructure and initially circulated overprinted Reserve Bank of India notes. The De La Rue-printed series that followed represented the first purpose-designed currency for the country, though the long issue window of nearly two decades means examples span a wide range of signatories and can carry quite different collector premiums depending on which governor's signature appears.

P#13 is catalogued across multiple signature varieties. The earliest are substantially scarcer.
