Pick 38 ran for sixteen years across five signature varieties, making it one of the longer-lived De La Rue issues for Nepal Rastra Bank in the modern period. The progression from plain security thread to segmented foil thread mid-series is well documented, but the Shrestha variant with the 24 mm serial number remains uncatalogued in the standard references — a genuine gap rather than a printing error, likely reflecting a transitional print run that never received formal listing. The Dhakal signature at the close of the series is similarly absent from Pick.
