Interesting fact
The 25 Paisa coin from Nepal, which features Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah, was the first coin in the country to have a portrait of a king on it since the 1950s. This was a significant departure from the traditional designs of Nepalese coins, which had previously featured symbols of the country's rich cultural heritage, such as the national emblem or images of deities. The introduction of a royal portrait on the coinage was seen as a way to reinforce the king's position as the head of state and to promote a sense of national identity and unity.
