| Additional information |
Struck to commemorate the formal coronation of King Birendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev on February 24, 1975 — though this coin carries the Vikram Samvat year 2031, corresponding to 1974, reflecting Nepal's pre-coronation mint schedule. The ceremony itself was one of the most elaborately staged royal events in South Asian history, attended by dignitaries from over a hundred nations and broadcast internationally at considerable logistical effort given Nepal's infrastructure at the time.
