Interesting fact

The 5 Paisa coin from Pakistan was designed by renowned Pakistani artist, Syed Sadequain Ahmed Naqvi. He was a prominent painter and calligrapher, and his work can be found in various museums and art galleries across Pakistan. The coin's design features a stylized image of a cotton plant, which is a nod to Pakistan's agricultural history and its status as one of the world's leading cotton producers.
