Coins are valuable historical artefacts that can illuminate
the economics and technology, the art and politics, the religion and ceremonies
of people. How a nation chooses to represent itself on its coinage is testimony
to what it values and celebrates.
The coins produced by many countries therefore can offer
important insights into the history not only of their own countries but also,
to a greater or lesser extent, of most other countries in the world (including
Pakistan).
Below are some examples of coins
