Some Rare - Over Printed Stamps of Pakistan

31/03/2014

In 1961, Pakistan switched over to the decimal system and the available existing stamps were over printed with "Paisa" (the new denomination - 100 paisa per Pakistani Rupee) instead of "Ana" (16 Anas to a Rupee). Initially, Pakistan Post did not have readily available paisa denomination stamps, so it overprinted older stamps on 1 January 1961 to switch over to the decimal system.
