| Additional information |
Pakistan's 5 rupee denomination had already been circulating in cupro-nickel since 1991, which makes this aluminium striking almost certainly a weight-reduction trial — the State Bank was under recurring pressure in the late 1990s to cut coin production costs as the rupee depreciated sharply following the 1998 nuclear test sanctions. It never entered circulation. Pattern pieces from this period rarely surface, and KM# Pn102 appears in only a handful of documented collections.
