| Obverse description | The obverse features the national emblem of Pakistan comprising a crescent and five-pointed star at the centre, rising from a stylised flagpole rendered in intricate calligraphic form. The field is surrounded by multilingual legends in Arabic and Bengali scripts, reading 'Pakistan Sarkar' (Government of Pakistan), arranged around the periphery. The date 1967 appears in Western numerals along the lower portion of the field. The entire design is enclosed within a finely reeded border. The overall composition reflects the bilingual administrative character of Pakistan prior to 1971. |

| Additional information |
Pakistan's 1962 coinage reform decimalized the rupee, replacing the anna system inherited from British India. The dual date on this pattern — 1962/1967 — suggests it was struck as a transitional or exploratory piece, likely testing a revised specification ahead of a planned reissue, though the 1967 circulation series ultimately appeared in nickel-brass rather than pure nickel.
Patterns of this type rarely left official hands.
