Interesting fact
The ½ Paisa - Tribhuvana Bir Bikram 2004 (1947) coin from Nepal made of Copper is interesting because it features a unique combination of Hindu and Buddhist symbols. On one side, it has the image of the national emblem of Nepal, which includes a rhino, a bird, and a crescent moon, while on the other side, it features the portrait of King Tribhuvan Bir Bikram Shah Dev. This blend of religious and royal symbols reflects the cultural and historical significance of Nepal, where Hinduism and Buddhism have coexisted peacefully for centuries.
