| Reverse description | Central field bears a large, boldly rendered Ik Onkar symbol (ੴ), the sacred emblem of Sikhism, occupying the majority of the field. A curved Devanagari legend arcs across the upper portion of the field, referencing the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak. The denomination रु १००० appears at the lower centre, with the commemorative dates A.D. 1469–2019 inscribed along the lower rim. Additional Devanagari inscriptions flank the sides, and the whole design is enclosed within a beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Guru Nanak Dev's 550th birth anniversary in 2019 prompted commemorative issues across South Asia, with India, Pakistan, and Nepal all releasing silver pieces within months of each other — an unusual moment of parallel numismatic acknowledgment across three nations with otherwise competing political interests. Nepal's issue, despite having a comparatively small Sikh population, reflects the country's long tradition of issuing religious commemoratives that extend well beyond its Hindu and Buddhist majorities.
