About Pakistani Rupee

The Pakistani Rupee was introduced in 1947 after Pakistan gained independence from British rule. It replaced the Indian Rupee and has since undergone various changes in design, security features, and denominations.

The SBP issues coins and banknotes, ensuring their security, durability, and anti-counterfeiting measures. The PKR is used nationwide and in some bordering regions for trade.
