The peripheral legend in Urdu script reads 'ISLAMI JAMHURIA PAKISTAN' (اسلامی جمہوریہ پاکستان) along the upper arc. Two upward-curving wheat sprigs flank the lower field, with the date '2023' inscribed between them below the crescent and star device. The denomination numeral '50' appears to the right of the crescent-and-star motif, while 'RUPIA' in Urdu script appears to the left. |

| Additional information |
Issued in 2023 to mark the fiftieth anniversary of Pakistan's 1973 Constitution, which was framed under Zulfikar Ali Bhutto's government following the country's traumatic dismemberment in 1971 and the loss of East Pakistan as Bangladesh. The 1973 document was notable for establishing a parliamentary system and declaring Islam the state religion — a provision that would take on sharper political edges under Zia ul-Haq's subsequent Islamization program. Pakistan has a modest but consistent tradition of commemorative circulation coinage tied to constitutional and political milestones, though the 1973 Constitution itself has been suspended twice.
