The story
The front shows Lord Changunarayan, a form of Vishnu riding Garuda, from the ancient Changu Narayan temple in the Kathmandu Valley, one of Nepal’s oldest sacred sites. The back shows a family of blackbuck, an antelope that lives in Nepal’s southern grasslands, beside the national coat of arms. The note was issued during the reign of King Gyanendra, whose portrait is on the front.
