Pakistani Coins
A national currency is a point of pride, seen as absolutely essential to the identity of the nation, like stamp, flag or national anthem.
Pakistani currency is “Rupee” PKR. The origin of the word "rupee" is found in the Sanskrit word rūp or rūpā, which means "silver" in many Indo-Aryan languages. The Sanskrit word rūpyakam means coin of silver. The derivative word Rūpaya was used to denote the coin introduced by Sher Shah Suri during his reign from 1540 to 1545 CE.
The Pakistani rupee was put into circulation after the country became independent from the British Raj in 1947. For the first few months of independence, Pakistan used Indian coins and notes with "Pakistan" stamped on them. New coins and banknotes were issued in 1948.
1 rupee coins were reintroduced in 1979, followed by 2 rupees in 1998 and 5 rupees in 2002.
