Pakistani Rupee to South African Rand

The Pakistani rupee (sign ₨, code PKR) is the official currency of Pakistan. The Pakistani rupee could be changed with 100 pice. However, the production of coins ceased due to inflation.

It was issued in 1948 after a monetary reform which had removed the Indian rupee from the territory of Pakistan. The Indian currency had still been used for payment up until 1966. Portraits of cultural and political figures of the country are used to decorate the notes. The banknotes are stylized in natural hues: green, olive green and brown.

The South African rand (sign: R, code: ZAR, number: 710) or rand is the currency used in South Africa, Lesotho and Namibia. It Has been issued since 1961, when the state ceased to be part of the British Commonwealth, upon gaining independence. One rand is divided into 100 cents.

In 2004, rand has been incorporated into the CLS system as one of the international clearing currencies. The name is derived from the abbreviation of the name of the Mountain range Witwatersrand. The word "rand" came into use from the Afrikaans language, but has been modified to be pronounced in an English manner.
