The story
The front shows Mount Everest and the Kasthamandap temple in Kathmandu, the old wooden pavilion that is said to have given the city its name. The back shows a wild yak in the high Himalaya, with the Limi Himal range of Humla district behind it. Together they stand for Nepal’s mountains and its living cultural heritage.
