Comment
Proof issues were minted by the United States mint in San Francisco.Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee coin from Nepal, minted between 1968 and 1971, features a unique design element - the national emblem of Nepal, which includes a cow, a rhino, and a lion, surrounded by a garland of flowers. This design was introduced during the reign of King Mahendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev, whose name appears on the coin. The use of copper-nickel in the coin's composition was also a deliberate choice, as it was believed to be more durable and resistant to corrosion than other metals.
