| Comments |
Nepal's highest-denomination note of this period, the 1000 Rupee was introduced as the country's economy began integrating more formally with international monetary systems following the collapse of the fixed exchange rate with the Indian Rupee in 1966. Thomas De La Rue produced the series under contract — a relationship Nepal Rastra Bank had maintained since the earliest days of the bank's note-issuing operations in the 1960s.
Two governors signed across this issue's lifespan: Kul Shekhar Sharma through 1978, then Kalyan Bikram Adhikari from 1979. Sharma-signed examples are the harder find.
