Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 Paisa coin was designed by the renowned Pakistani artist and coin designer, Syed Ali Imran. He was known for his unique style of incorporating traditional Pakistani motifs and calligraphy into his designs, and the Pattern 5 Paisa coin is a great example of his work. The coin features a stylized depiction of a horse and rider on the obverse, with intricate patterns and calligraphy on the reverse. The use of aluminum as the material for the coin was a deliberate choice to make it more accessible and affordable for the masses, as it was a more cost-effective option than traditional metals like silver or gold. Despite its relatively low value, the Pattern 5 Paisa coin has become a sought-after collector's item due to its unique design and historical significance.
