All about Pakistani currency
How did the Rupee get its name?
The Pakistani Rupee (PKR) isn’t just a currency—it’s a symbol of independence and pride.
Derived from the Sanskrit word “rupyakam” (meaning silver), the Rupee has been a steadfast companion to the people of Pakistan since 1947. Holding Rupees means holding a slice of history in your hand.
