Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Rupees (United Nations; Silver Pattern Proof) 1995 from Pakistan is that it features a unique design that was never adopted as the official currency of Pakistan. The coin was part of a series of pattern coins issued in 1995 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the United Nations, and it features the UN emblem on one side and a stylized image of a mosque on the other. The coin's design was created by the Pakistani artist, Syed Ali Ahsan, and it was produced in a limited quantity of 500 pieces, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
