| Reverse description | Within a raised inner circle occupying the central field, a kukri (traditional Nepali curved knife) is depicted upright in front of a stylized hill device. A Devanagari legend encircles the design in the outer field, with decorative elements at the base. The composition is framed by a plain raised rim, the overall design rendered in low relief characteristic of mid-twentieth-century Nepalese coinage. |
