Interesting fact
The 50 Paisa coin from Pakistan, minted in 1998, features a unique design that showcases the country's rich cultural heritage. On one side, the coin features a stunning image of the Mohenjo-Daro ruins, which are the remains of an ancient Indus Valley Civilization city that dates back to around 2500 BCE. The other side of the coin features the national emblem of Pakistan, which includes a crescent moon and a star, surrounded by a wreath of wheat stalks. This design not only highlights the country's history and culture but also symbolizes its commitment to progress and prosperity.
