It is important to note here that Rs. 10 coins will be launched for the first time in Pakistan. Currency note of Rs. 10 will also remain in existence. If talk about design and shape of the new coin as compare to the others, then there are many similarities and differences at the same time. Just like others coins, Islami Jamhoria Pakistan (اسلامی جمہوریہ پاکستان in Urdu) is written on the obverse side. Crescent moon and five-pointed stars facing northwest rising position in the same center position as are on the other coins. The Same circle of small beads all align the edge of the coin are also common. It will also contain 2016 as a date of issue
The reverse side is different from the rests. The reverse side will consist, Faisal Mosque, three flying birds (like coin Rs. 2) and world ten in the mid-point along with Rupee (روپیہ) in bottom written in Urdu.
