The Haj is a pilgrimage to Mecca expected of each
faithful male follower of Islam at least once in
their lifetime. Because of tight currency controls,
Pakistan did not want its citizens to take actual
Pakistan currency when they left the country.
Instead they provided them with this special
currency which could only be spent in Saudi Arabia
on their Pilgrimage. The notes are similar to
regular Pakistan notes, but printed in a different
color and have a special overprint that reads "FOR
HAJ PILGRIMS FROM PAKISTAN FOR USE IN SAUDI ARABIA
ONLY". The pilgrim notes were discontinued in 1994.
This orange Haj Pilgrim note pictures and has a
watermark of Pakistan founder Mohammed Ali Jinnah on
the front.. The reverse has the Peshawar Islamic
College. The note is Uncirculated, and as is normal
for this issue, has two tiny staple holes near the
left margin. It is a scarce and rarely seen note.
