Interesting fact

The Pattern 5 Rupees coin from Pakistan is a rare and unique coin that was minted in 2001 as a trial or pattern coin, which means it was not meant for circulation and was only produced in limited quantities. This coin is made of aluminum, which is a lightweight metal that is not commonly used for coins, and it weighs only 2.6 grams, making it one of the lightest coins in the world. Its unique features and rarity make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and coin enthusiasts.
