Front: Mohenjo-daro, one of the major cities of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization (circa 2500–1900 BCE), located in Sindh province, Pakistan.

Back: Muhammad Ali Jinnah (1876–1948), founder of Pakistan and its first Governor-General, widely known as Quaid-e-Azam (Great Leader). A barrister and statesman who led the All-India Muslim League and the Pakistan Movement, achieving the creation of Pakistan as an independent nation in 1947; he is the most honoured figure in Pakistani history and appears on all denominations of Pakistani currency.

The story

Background & history

This note belongs to the State Bank of Pakistan series issued from 1976 to 1984 following the 1971 redesign that removed Bengali script after the independence of Bangladesh. The design features the iconic pairing of Jinnah's portrait (present on all Pakistani banknotes) with Mohenjo-daro on the 10 rupee denomination, linking Pakistan's modern foundation to its ancient Indus Valley heritage. The serial prefix 'FAX' indicates this is from a later printing within the series run. These notes were gradually withdrawn from circulation in the 1980s and replaced by subsequent series with updated security features.
