Commemorative SBP a special 5-rupee note Issued on Pakistan’s 50th anniversary. 5 million printed and issued. Released into circulation on 13 August 1997.

Hajj Notes Since partition, Pakistani notes exported from Pakistan could be freely

converted into foreign exchange. The free convertibility of the Pakistani rupee created opportunities for

rupees to be smuggled out of Pakistan and later presented by foreign banks to the Pakistani authorities for payment in pounds sterling.

In September 1949, complete restriction were made on export and import of Pakistani Currency.

Special notes for the express use of the Hajj pilgrims. In May 1950 for curbing the smuggling of Pakistani notes, Government

through an ordinance amended the State Bank Order to allow the issue of special notes, or ‘Hajj notes’.

Hajj Notes were issued with same design, slight color variation and with an over print “Hajj Note” indicating the specific use of the notes.

The Hajj notes were not legal tender in Pakistan, but they could be used in Saudi Arabia to purchase Saudi riyals and be remitted to Pakistan via the usual channel of the Saudi Arabian banks.
