100 Rupees - Birendra Bir Bikram FAO

Issued under the FAO's "Food for All" campaign, this coin was part of a coordinated global push by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization to encourage member states to mint commemorative currency raising awareness of agricultural development. Nepal's participation reflected Birendra's government positioning the kingdom as an engaged international partner during the 1990s, a decade when the palace was navigating significant domestic pressure following the 1990 pro-democracy movement that stripped the monarchy of absolute power.

The .600 fineness is notably lower than typical silver commemorative issues of the period — a cost-conscious specification that appears repeatedly across FAO-affiliated national issues.
