Comment
The smallest Nepal Buddha gold coin issued by the Singapore Mint in 2002.
These carded coins were sometimes presented in a clamshell wooden case, with a glass cover and an included magnifying glass.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Lord Buddha, which is a sacred symbol in Buddhism, and is considered a representation of enlightenment and spiritual growth.
