Nepal's transition to brass coinage in the early 1950s coincided with Tribhuvan's return from exile in India in 1951, which ended a century of Rana oligarchy and nominally restored royal authority. The government that produced this coin was barely two years old and operating under significant institutional disorder — the "His Majesty's Government" designation itself was a deliberate reassertion of crown primacy after decades in which the Shah kings had been reduced to ceremonial figures by the Rana prime ministers.
KM#735 had a short production window, replaced as coinage reforms continued through the mid-1950s.
