Did you know that Rs50 note was also a commemorative banknote?

Yup! You heard that right! SBP issued the first commemorative note to mark the fifty years of independence in 1997. The designs for the front and back of banknote were developed by SBP with the help of local artists. The banknote is still used in today’s time and date. This means Rs.75 note is here to stay unlike Rs5 note. But we don’t talk about that. Does this mean that we will get a new version of Rs.100 note once the country crosses the 100 years mark? Who knows. We just have to wait and watch.
