Pakistan issues a Rs 25 Memorial Coin to honor South Asia's first submarine force on its 50th birthday.

there may be a stamp also?

Is it still available from the branch of State Bank?

Would have been better if they put the original submarine on it, the ones that were first commissioned, or even better, PNS Ghazi.

Great thread.

What a shame it is looking at the present sub force, which was once the envy of South Asia.

I hope this also marks the beginning of a prosperous 50 years time period going forward. Will love to see some Chinese and European subs (idealistic approach) with land attack missile carrying capability. We may not need a nuclear sub but a reasonable force of conventional submarines is absolutely necessary.

Coin collection being my hobby, i am trying to get my hands on this, don't have much clue who to approach but have asked an employee at state bank. Lets see what happens.

I blame the Roza.

LOL, what i meant was, do you know if it is available at the state bank branch in Karachi? I might go there and check myself. But if you know, it would be helpful, as i don't want to take a trip to I.I.Chundrigar in Ramazan, only to find out they don't have it.

well i checked with State Bank here in Faisalabad and they do not have it yet. If someone can confirm when are these coins to be launched. I now realize that may be they will be issued on or around August 14.
