Pakistan related World Coins

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).
