I recently became interested in collecting Pakistani coins. And already have a small collection! Pakistan became an independent state at August 14 1947. Monetary system was: 1 rupee = 16 anna = 64 pice = 192 pie.
Don't forget they adopted the Decimal coin system in 1961, so there is now the Paisa. 100 Paisa = 1 Rupee
One pie 1956, bronze, weight - 1,25 g., size - 15,87 mm, mintage - 3390000 pcs. Engraver: P.W. Burende. Such coins were released at 1951-53 and 1955-57.
