P#45 has run continuously since 2006, making it one of the longest uninterrupted issues in Pakistan's post-independence currency history. The Pakistan Security Printing Corporation — established in Karachi specifically to reduce dependence on foreign printers like Thomas De La Rue, which had handled earlier Pakistani notes — has produced the entire run domestically.
The series spans multiple date varieties across nearly two decades, and collectors tracking signature combinations will find a fair number of distinct pairings as State Bank governors changed. Watermark-only security is notably sparse for a note still in active production this late into the 21st century.
