Pakistani 25 Paisa – Raw Tribal Pendant

The presented lot includes original 25 paisa circulation coins from Pakistan, issued in the second half of the 20th century. The obverses feature the distinctive crescent moon with a star – the national symbol – and Urdu calligraphy. The reverse is adorned with a large denomination of "25" surrounded by a floral wreath typical of this issue.

The coins are made of nickel or cupronickel alloys, giving them a cool, silvery hue. The relief can be distinct or slightly worn due to actual circulation. Some specimens feature dates in both the Gregorian and Hijri calendars, providing interesting cultural context.

Each coin has been hand-adapted by soldering a gold-toned brass sleeve. Traces of soldering, natural patina, and local discoloration are visible – these are the result of age and use, not styling. The preserved denomination ensures that the pendant remains a legible fragment of the monetary system, rather than an anonymous disc of metal.

These types of rupees and paisa were commonly used in tribal jewelry as components of tribal necklaces and belts. The price is for one piece, selected randomly from the lot. Each piece varies in wear and relief detail.
