The Pakistani 10-rupee coin (Rs. 10) is a denomination of the Pakistani rupee.[1]

The 10-rupee coin is a yellow, round piece with a serrated edge, a weight of 5.50 grams, and a diameter of 25.5mm.[2]

History

On July 17, 2016, the federal government of Pakistan authorized the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) to distribute a Rs10 coin.[2] The coin was issued on October 24, 2016, by the State Bank of Pakistan.[2]

In April 2023, it was reported that the 10-rupee coin has faced challenges in gaining widespread acceptance as a legal tender.[3]

Obverse

The coin's obverse side features a waxing crescent moon and a five-pointed star in a rising position facing northwest.[2] The Urdu inscription "Islami Jamhooria Pakistan" is inscribed along the periphery above the star and the moon.[2] The year of issuance is displayed below the crescent, above two upwardly curved wheat sprigs.[2] A circle of small beads adorns the coin's edge.[2]

Reverse

The reverse side of the coin carries an image of the front view of the Faisal Mosque with doves in flight above it.[2]
