I could not locate this coin which has been referred by you.
As per my records, Pakistan has never issued 5 Rupees coin on Jinnah.
Perhaps Obverse of one got attached to reverse of other.
I shall be highly grateful, if you can locate and confirm existence of this coin.

You are quite right, Pabitra. I was far away from home and library, looking for a hat and borrowed the picture from the net. It may have been this site. The site notes: "Most of the above eight pattern 5 Rupees coins were also made in Aluminum with double thickness, plain edge and have weight of 2.20 grams each. These Aluminum coins were firstly seen in public in November 2009."

Belgium, 50 centimes, 1955.  A coal miner wearing a helmet.

As a child, I used to think the helmet was a halo.

Thanks a lot, Figleaf, for confirming that my records are correct.
