The portrait of Quaid-e-Azam was being carved on the behest of the Master of the Mint, Lahore Mr. Misbah ul Haq. The portrait was presented personally to him in January 2013. A plaster cast was obtained from this pattern by the mold department at the Mint.
It was encouragement and support from the Master of the Mint that i resumed carving of portraits after a lapse of more than two decades. The Mint Master sahab highly valued my work and considered me the best available Medallion Portrait Sculptor. He very generously issued this Letter of Appreciation to me before his retirement.
Medallion portrait carved as a proposed design for SAMA Saudi Monetary Agency. The portrait is carved by Artist Khalil Najmi. The artist is already involved in designing new photo-effect coins for the Pakistan Mint. In this portrait King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz is shown praying to Allah Almighty and his lips are open and the tounge seems uttering the word Allah. This picture was carefully selected from a set of portraits downloaded from internet. The portrait is a symbolic representation in this way to present him as the Custodian of the two Holy Mosques and a true leader of the whole Muslim Ummah.
