Name of Father of the Nation on the current circulating 100 rupee note is wrong

According to the details, 75-year-old Muhammad Mohsin from Karachi indicated that the name of the father of the nation Muhammad Ali Jinnah and the location of the photo behind him are incorrect in the currently circulating 100 rupee note.

Muhammad Mohsin, a retired civil servant, noted that a close examination of the memo ten years ago showed that the spelling of the Quaid-e-Azam’s name in English was not identical to the spelling in Pakistan’s constitution (Quaid-i-Azam). On the back of the note, along with the printed image, is written Quaid-e-Azam Residency, Ziarat-Quetta which was supposed to be Balochistan.


The Federal Ombudsman has directed the State Bank of Pakistan to immediately correct two errors that appear in the caption printed vertically at lower left back of the 100-rupee note:

QUAID-E-AZAM RESIDENCY, ZIARAT-QUETTA  (error) to become
QUAID-I-AZAM RESIDENCY, ZIARAT-BALOCHISTAN (correct)

Pakistan unissued 1969 Coin

As the conflict grew between East and West Pakistan during the late 60s, hatred between the people of the two partitions kept on increasing. To slow down the effect of hatred among the people Government decided to use Quranic verses to promote the brotherhood between the people.

In 1969 a coin was designed with the verse ‘Innamal Mu'minuna Ikhwah’ from ‘Surah Al-Hujurat’ which translates to ‘Muslims are Brothers’, but for some reason, it never got issued. The conflict concluded to the collapse of East Pakistan.
