| Additional information |
Issued under Nepal's FAO coin program, this piece was part of a global initiative coordinated by the Food and Agriculture Organization to promote food security themes through circulating commemorative coinage. Nepal participated across several decades, tying releases to specific agricultural campaigns. The 1995 date falls during a period of relative political turbulence following the 1990 restoration of multiparty democracy, when King Birendra had transitioned from absolute to constitutional monarch — a shift that significantly altered the symbolic weight of his effigy on any issued coinage.
