The denomination, shape and other details regarding the coin will be announced on Saturday at a special condolence reference for Edhi, SBP spokesman Abid Qamar, Dawn News reported.
Revered by many as a national hero, Abdul Sattar Edhi created a charitable empire out of nothing.
He gave birth to PakistanÂ’s largest welfare organisation almost single-handedly, entirely with private donations.
He was diagnosed with kidney failure in 2013 but was unable to get a transplant due to frail health and received treatment at the Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation.
Thousands of people, including high-profile politicians and government officials, gathered at the National Stadium to attend Edhi's funeral prayers on Saturday.
The iconic social worker was given a guard of honour and a 19-gun salute by the Pakistan Army as his body was taken away from the National Stadium after a state funeral.
His body was then taken to Edhi village, where he was laid to rest.
