Pakistan set to issue Bhutto coin
Pakistan is to issue a commemorative coin to mark
the first anniversary of the assassination of
former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.
The State Bank of Pakistan will issue about
300,000 special 10-rupee (16 US cents) coins.
The coin will read in Urdu, "Daughter of the
East, Benazir Bhutto".
Ms Bhutto was killed in a suicide bomb and gun
attack in Rawalpindi on 27 December last year
after an election rally for her Pakistan
People's Party.
The coin will be issued on 27 December, the
bank announced.
Ms Bhutto has already had Islamabad's
international airport named after her, along
with a hospital in Rawalpindi and a key road.
Her husband, Asif Ali Zardari, became
co-chairman of the Pakistan People's Party,
which won February's elections. He took over
as Pakistan's president in September.
