Interesting fact
The 5 Paisa coin from Nepal, which was minted between 2010 and 2014, features an image of Tribhuvana Bir Bikram, the king of Nepal from 1953 to 1957. The coin is made of bronze and weighs 3.89 grams. What's interesting about this coin is that it was minted in a unique way. The coin was produced using a technique called "electroplating," where a thin layer of a metal, in this case, bronze, is deposited onto a base metal, usually copper or nickel, to create the final product. This process allows for the creation of coins with a high level of detail and durability.
