Currency Information
The story
The front shows Mount Everest, Mount Ama Dablam and Tengboche Monastery in the Khumbu region, with the god Indra in a cameo and an old coin design. Mount Everest replaced the king’s portrait on the 500 rupee note in 2007, reflecting Nepal’s change from a monarchy to a republic. The back shows a tiger in the snow, one of the Himalayan region’s iconic wild animals.
