| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features the traditional Nepalese yantra (tantric geometric diagram) composed of interlocking squares and curved segments, bearing the royal name and titles of King Birendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev in Devanagari script. Four auspicious Hindu symbols occupy the cardinal quadrants of the design: a conch shell (shankha), a lotus blossom, a ceremonial mace, and a sun wheel (chakra). A trident emblem is placed at the centre of the yantra, and the Vikram Samvat date 2054 appears in Devanagari numerals at the base, all enclosed within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued as part of Nepal's wildlife conservation series, this coin commemorates the greater one-horned rhinoceros, whose last viable Himalayan-region population survives almost entirely within Chitwan National Park. By 1997, poaching had pushed the species to critical levels across South Asia, and Nepal's anti-poaching units — backed in part by the army — were credited with near-zero poaching years in the early 2000s following renewed enforcement efforts initiated around this period.
KM#1103 was struck during the reign of King Birendra, who was killed in the royal massacre of June 2001.
