Interesting fact

The 1 Paisa coin from Nepal, made of copper and minted between 1964 and 1968, features an image of King Prithvi Bir Bikram Shah on one side and the national emblem of Nepal on the other. This coin was introduced during the reign of King Mahendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev and was used as a standard circulation coin in Nepal until it was replaced by a newer design in 1971.
