| Obverse description | Central field features a traditional Nepalese square-within-circle decorative framework enclosing a trident (trishula) at its center, a sacred symbol of Shiva. The square panel is subdivided into compartments bearing the royal honorific and regnal inscription in Devanagari script, reading the king's name and titles. Four auspicious symbols occupy the outer corners of the square: a sun, a torch, a lotus flower, and a mace. The Vikrama Samvat date 1989 appears in Devanagari numerals at the lower portion, and the honorific 'Shri Shri' appears prominently at the top of the field, all within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a scalloped lotus-petal border surrounding a central raised circular medallion. Within the medallion, the numeral '1' appears at the top flanked by two decorative floral sprays or laurel branches. Below the numeral, the denomination inscription in Devanagari reads 'Ek Rupaiyan' (One Rupee), with 'Nepal' inscribed beneath. The honorific 'Shri Shri Shri' is distributed around the inner border of the scalloped frame in Devanagari script, lending the design a ceremonial, devotional character typical of Nepalese coinage of the period. |
