“I intend to continue the mission of Edhi sahib, and I believe that it should be carried on until the end of times,” Faisal Edhi said. He also urged the citizens to take inspiration from his father, adding that “everyone should help take this mission forward, and partake in all services for the humanity.”

Earlier, the federal government had decided to issue the coin in the cabinet meeting held on July 25 last year.

Below the crescent and at the top of two springs of wheat with arms curved upward, there is the year of death of Abdul Sattar Edhi.
