KARACHI: Deputy Governor of the State Bank of Pakistan Sima Kamil on Friday unveiled a commemorative stamp to mark the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the bank’s museum.

The design of the stamp is based on the SBP Museum’s building, featuring rich cultural heritage of the country and a manifestation of art in its architecture.

The building was built by the Imperial Bank of India in 1920 for its branch office in Karachi. In 1950, the building was handed over to the SBP and remained in its use for various purposes till it was converted into the SBP Museum in the 2000s.

The latest commemorative stamp is the third such stamp issued to honour the SBP. Earlier, stamps were issued on the occasion of the 25th and 70th anniversaries of the central bank.

On the issuance of the commemorative stamp, Ms Kamil thanked the Pakistan Post for honouring the SBP Museum on its 10th anniversary and for the hard work in issuance of this stamp.
