Interesting fact
The 2 Paisa coin from Nepal, which features Mahendra Bir Bikram, was actually designed by a British artist named John F. Scott. Despite being produced in Nepal, the coin's design was outsourced to a foreign artist, which is an interesting tidbit of information for collectors and numismatists.
