Currency Information
The story
This note was issued to mark the accession of King Gyanendra in Bikram Sambat 2058, and the Devanagari text around the front window says so. The front shows Lord Changunarayan, a form of Vishnu on Garuda, from the ancient Changu Narayan temple in the Kathmandu Valley. The back shows a family of blackbuck, an antelope of Nepal’s southern grasslands, beside the national coat of arms.
