Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the coronation of King Birendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev, who ruled Nepal from 1972 until his death in 2001. The coin's design features an image of the king on one side and the national emblem of Nepal on the other. The use of billon, a silver-like alloy, in the coin's minting process adds to its unique character and value.
