Commenti	Pakistan's first banknotes were not newly designed — they were Reserve Bank of India notes with "Government of Pakistan" overprinted in a hurry following Partition in August 1947. The P#1A represents the next step: amended printing plates where the issuer text was incorporated directly, but the underlying design remained Indian in origin. This was a transitional fix, not a considered redesign. The amended-plate approach was short-lived, superseded once Pakistan established its own State Bank in July 1948 and began commissioning purpose-built currency.
