| Additional information |
Pakistan's shift to nickel for the 25 paisa in this period followed the broader Commonwealth pattern of replacing cupro-nickel or silver with cheaper base metals as post-independence economies stabilized their coinage infrastructure. The State Bank of Pakistan was still consolidating monetary policy through the mid-1960s, and these transitional years saw considerable variation in striking pressure across the Lahore mint's output.
