Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Pice coin was designed by the renowned Pakistani artist and coin designer, Syed Ali Imam. He was known for his unique style of blending traditional Islamic motifs with modern design elements, and his work can be seen on many Pakistani coins and banknotes. The Pattern 1 Pice coin features a stylized floral pattern on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) features the denomination and the year of issue. The use of brass as the material for this coin was a deliberate choice to reflect Pakistan's rich cultural heritage and its tradition of using brass for currency.
