I was trying to identify some my notes from Pakistan and found your blog internet. I like it. A lot of different info about notes from Pakistan.
I found signature of my note and was able to identify year, i.e. 1960. But looking at page with signatures I have a question. I think you scanned signatures from real notes. So, how can it be that in 1951 was only 1 note, i.e. Krause P-8, but in your page with signatures I found 3 persons for that period:
Abdul Qadir - Finance Secretary Zahid Hussain - Governor of State Bank of Pakistan Ghalam Muhammed - Minister of Finance
Can you point to some place where I can understand who signed banknotes specifically at which period.
As for your questions, the 2nd series of banknotes were issued on October 1st, 1948 and it was an emergency issue, only this issue contains the signature of Minister of Finance (Ghulam Muhammad). All other series of notes contains the signatures of Governor of State Bank of Pakistan at their respective times as State Bank of Pakistan has the authority to issue the banknotes, excluding the Rupee 1 notes which were issued by Government of Pakistan, which were signed by the Finance Secretary of their respective times.
thank you for interesting information. Another question. According to your Finance Ministers signature list 1 Rupee notes were issued at least until 2002. But in Pakistan 9th Issue (Current circulating notes) I don't see any 1 rupee notes and in Pakistan 8th Issue last 1 Rupee notes was issued in February 8, 1984. I consider your gallery for Pakistan notes excellent.
Also, if Pakistan stopped issuing 1 Rupee notes, when it happened? In Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finance_Secretary_of_Pakistan I see longer list of Finance Secretaries.
also in many places I see Finance secretary signatures slightly different:
Instead of 4. Hafiz Abdul Majid 1.11.1958-29.7.1960 5. Mohammed Ayub 29.7.1960-19.6.1961 they list 4.Shujaat Ali Hasnie 5.Mohammed Ayub 6.Hafiz Abdul Majid without dates but it looks like signature of Shujaat Ali Hasnie was scanned from 1 Rupee and it is a little bit different from signature in Governors list. Also I found on internet that he was very short period of time Finance secretary before he was appointed Governor.
The last 1 Rupee note was issued in Series 8 and were issued up to the year 2002, then on Jan 1st, 2002 government demonetized the 1 Rupee note and replaced it with 1 Rupee coin. Now currently coins are used instead of banknotes for 1 Rupee, 2 Rupees and 5 Rupees.
I Think because of his short period, Rupee 1 banknote was created but never issued. Give me your email so I can send you the image of Rupee 1 banknote with his signature.
thank you for your kind offer. My e-mail is tarela_v@hotmail.com Now I understand why everybody has signature from this note, but no images of this note. Do you know exact period of Shujaat Ali Hasnie as Finance secretary? Is it OK to give front and back images of this note to Krause Standard Catalog, so that people have better understanding of history of banknotes of Pakistan?
I found also very interesting and informative 5 articles by researcher of world paper money Peter J. Symes:
1) The Bank Notes of Pakistan – 1947 to 1972 2) The Bank Notes of Pakistan – 1972 to 2000 3) The Haj Notes of Pakistan 4) Pakistan Banknotes without Pinholes 5) The Receipts of the Muhammed Ali Jinnah Memorial Fund
If interested I can send you link to his web page.
Respected sir Im student of Punjab University and working on my thesis. My topic is history of Pakistan currency. Main focus of this thesis is designing and making process of currency. My thesis is almost completed but I could not find information regarding decorative patterns like geomatric or foral work on the paper notes.Whether these are Pakistan's own decorative ornaments? Sir plz give me help if you have any information.
Pakistan's own 1st issue of banknotes was the emergency issue of 1948, The notes of Rs. 5, Rs. 10 and Rs. 100 were issued by Govt. of Pakistan. The notes were designed and printed by Thomas De La Rue & Company. The design were based on 1 Pound Banknote of Bank of England circa 1928. you can view its image on the following link.
Thanks sir for you response but my question was not about designs patterns of Thomas Dele Rue, UK but it was about the designs of PSPC, that whether it is using its traditional pattern for designing the currency or the Islamic pattern.
Many things influenced the design of Pakistan currency, up to 1952 design and printing of banknotes was carried out by UK based companies. Later PSPC designed and printed their own banknotes but at they were also based on the previous currency design using geometrical patterns. And this traditional scheme continues till 8th issue.
In 9th issue which was released in 2005, PSPC changes the pattern scheme which depicts the patterns taken from our cultural and regional heritage, this includes Islamic patterns used in Mosques etc.
Thankyou sir for giving me information I required relating to my thesis. Plz help ne for few other questions. Q.1 Why Pakistan gives Pakistan monuments for illustratuon. Q.2 The beautiful monumental images present on the currency are designed by PSPC or by any artist? Q.3 Who Caligraphed Hukoomat e Pakistan in Tughral style at Pakistan coin currency? Sir, if you know any peeson who does portrait and Architectural designs plz tell me.
A.1) I think as currency notes are printed using less colors (2 or 4), using illustrations for pictures is the best solution, otherwise pictures will be visually impaired.
A.2) In my knowledge PSPC uses in-house artists for illustrations. But also various artists also designed pakistan banknote illustrations and coins, like Abdur Rehman Chugtai.
A.3) Sorry I don't have a clue who designed the tughra, but 1st set of Pakistan coins with tughra was designed by Mr. P. W. Burende.

Hi Valeriy
First of all thank you for your kind words.
As for your questions, the 2nd series of banknotes were issued on October 1st, 1948 and it was an emergency issue, only this issue contains the signature of Minister of Finance (Ghulam Muhammad). All other series of notes contains the signatures of Governor of State Bank of Pakistan at their respective times as State Bank of Pakistan has the authority to issue the banknotes, excluding the Rupee 1 notes which were issued by Government of Pakistan, which were signed by the Finance Secretary of their respective times.
Hope the answer can solve your query.

4. Hafiz Abdul Majid 1.11.1958-29.7.1960
5. Mohammed Ayub 29.7.1960-19.6.1961

4.Shujaat Ali Hasnie
5.Mohammed Ayub
6.Hafiz Abdul Majid
without dates but it looks like signature of Shujaat Ali Hasnie was scanned from 1 Rupee and it is a little bit different from signature in Governors list. Also I found on internet that he was very short period of time Finance secretary before he was appointed Governor.
Do you have any information about that?
Thanks,

Hello Iftikhar,
do you know anything about 1 Rupee with signature Shujaat Ali Hasnie, when he was Finance secretary for very short period of time?
I can see in many places his signature, but there are no images of 1 Rupee note with his signature. So, I am trying to understand if it is a fake.
Thanks,
Val

Hi you missed one signature from one rupee Habib Ullah Baig with new sign when design changed.
I only displayed one signature per person.
Hi Iftikhar you didn't mention Shujaat Ali Hasni sign in one rupee banknote.
The period of Shujaat Ali Hasnie as a Finance Secretary is not confirmed. Nevertheless I have added him in the list.
THanks
Nice work sir...
