Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the reign of King Birendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev, who ruled Nepal from 1972 until his death in 2001. The coin features an image of the king on one side and the St. Xaviers College emblem on the other, highlighting the king's association with the college.
