This note was issued when Pakistan separated from British India to form the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. The notes were printed with new plates which added "Government of Pakistan" in English and in Urdu. India would later go on to fight two wars with Pakistan over the disputed territory of Kashmir; one in 1947-48 and another in 1965. A later war in 1971 was fought between the two countries, which resulted in the separation of East Pakistan and the creation of Bangladesh.
Estimate: $15000.00- $20000.00
