10 Paisa - Mahendra Bir Bikram FAO

Issued as part of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization coin program, which recruited governments worldwide to mint special circulating pieces carrying agricultural messaging during the early 1970s. Nepal's participation coincided with Mahendra Bir Bikram's final years — he died in January 1972, less than a year after this issue — making it one of the last coins struck under his name.
