1948 British India King George V One Rupee Government of Pakistan Note

A historically interesting One Rupee banknote featuring the portrait of King George V, issued under the Government of India during the British India period. The note carries the denomination “ONE RUPEE” prominently on the obverse, along with the portrait of King George V and multilingual inscriptions on the reverse.

The note also displays “Government of Pakistan” in English along with the corresponding Urdu inscription, indicating its association with the transitional currency arrangements following the Partition of British India.
