Comment

Mintage of 26,500,000 according to FAO documents for 1974.

 

In the middle of 1976 the final accent over the Urdu script at the top right of the obverse was changed from zabar (a straight slash) to pesh (thicker on one end) on Silver and Gold coins. Therefore Hakumat became Hukumat from 1977 all circulation coins.
