Around the upper edge, the words “Islamic Republic of Pakistan” are inscribed in Urdu, while the top rim carries the Urdu phrase “Pakistan Hamesha Zindabad,” which translates to “Long Live Pakistan.” This side of the coin highlights the country’s national identity and patriotic spirit.
On the reverse side, the coin showcases embossed images representing Pakistan’s defense capabilities. The design includes two fighter jets, a naval ship, and a multiple rocket launcher system, symbolizing the strength and preparedness of the armed forces across all branches.
