After the formation of State Bank of Pakistan, Government issued emergency series of bank Notes on 1st October 1948, with the denominations of 5, 10 and 100 Rupees signature by Ghulam Muhammad, Pakistan's first Finance Minister. It was prepared by Thomas De La Rue & Company of Great Britain.
Meanwhile On 1 March 1949, five months after the emergency issue was released, 1-rupee and 2-rupee notes were issued. Both notes were printed by Bradbury Wilkinson & Company of Great Britain. The 1-rupee note was issued on behalf of the Government of Pakistan, while the 2-rupee note was issued by the State Bank of Pakistan (and was the first note issued in the name of that authority).
Moreover 1st issued banknote (5,10,100 Rupee) don't have any Bangla word in it. I consider themselves as a part of history.
