The UN's International Year of the Child in 1979 prompted a wave of commemorative minor coinage across developing nations, Nepal among them. These issues were largely donor-facing gestures tied to UNICEF programming active in the country at the time — Nepal had among the highest child mortality rates in Asia, lending the theme considerably more weight than the denomination itself.
