SBP Puts 75 Years of Pakistan-China Friendship Into a Single Coin

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan China 75-year Coin To Be Released On May 25, 2026 – A Rs75 coin commemorating one of the most valuable and strategic alliances ever formed by Pakistan will be released on May 25, 2026, marking precisely 75 years of its official diplomatic relationship with China since the former established it on May 21, 1951.

According to the announcement by the SBP, the Pakistan China 75 year coin is going to be made available to the public via exchange counters operated by State Bank of Pakistan Banking Services Corporation field offices throughout the country, which means that the commemorative coin can be obtained in all of Pakistan’s major cities on the same day.

Copper-Nickel Coin Composition Representing Both National Emblems

Pakistan-China 75 Year Commemorative Coin Specifications The specifications of the 75-year commemorative coin reveal how much care the State Bank of Pakistan had taken in designing this commemorative coin to commemorate such an important occasion for diplomacy between both countries. The coin is made up of 75 percent copper and 25 percent nickel composition.

The coin has a weight of 19 grams and an overall diameter of 36 millimetres – specifications that make the coin a fitting one for being a high-end commemorative coin without being too bulky as a collector’s item.

Languages to Convey the Message

The coins that have been minted as part of the Pakistan China 75 year coin collection feature the following inscription that marks the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relationships between China and Pakistan. This particular message has been conveyed in three different languages including Urdu, English, and Chinese, where the message is read as “75 years of Pakistan-China diplomatic relations”. This has been done keeping in mind the fact that the coin marks diplomatic relationships.

The coin also includes “Trust, Friendship, and Cooperation,” which are three essential elements of Pakistan-China relations which have been repeatedly invoked by both countries as they describe their bilateral ties through decades of defense, economic, and diplomatic cooperation on international affairs.

Partnership Spanning Multiple Generations of Leadership

Pakistan China 75 Year Coin represents a diplomatic partnership that has turned out to be not only resilient but highly significant and reciprocal. The diplomatic partnership between the two countries started on May 21, 1951, which is only four years after the independence of Pakistan and just two years after the formation of the People’s Republic of China.

Through all these 75 years of regional wars, political changes during the Cold War era, economic transformations, and emergence of China as a super power, there have been consistent diplomatic relations between the two nations, which have always been referred to in terms of trust and friendship by the government officials of both countries, as inscribed on Pakistan China 75 year coin.
