| Beschrijving keerzijde | Facing bust of the Lord Buddha rendered in high relief at the center of the coin, depicted in a serene and meditative expression with an ushnisha (cranial protuberance) and elongated earlobes, wearing a draped robe. A plain circular halo or nimbus surrounds the head. The legend '1/20 OZ 999.9 FINE GOLD' arcs along the upper periphery, while 'NEPAL 1995' appears to the lower left and 'LORD BUDDHA' to the lower right of the effigy. The word 'ASARFI' is inscribed in large Latin capitals along the lower rim. The reverse field has a dark frosted proof finish contrasting with the polished portrait. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nepal's gold asarfi series issued by the Rastra Bank through the 1990s was produced primarily for the collector and bullion export market rather than domestic circulation — Nepalese monetary law kept most gold coinage outside everyday commerce. This particular piece honors the 2,539th birth anniversary of Siddhartha Gautama, a calculation derived from the Theravada Buddhist calendar placing his birth in 623 BCE, which differs from other scholarly traditions by several decades.
The Freitas reference Fr#78 places it within a small but coherent sequence of fractional gold issues tied to specific religious commemorations rather than regnal years alone.
