| Reverse description | The central field depicts a stylised relief scene of the Nativity of the Buddha, rendered in a linear, bas-relief style reminiscent of ancient Gandharan or Lumbini sculptural tradition. Queen Mayadevi stands in three-quarter profile, her right hand raised to grasp the branch of a Sala tree, while the newborn Siddhartha Gautama is shown standing at her side within an aureole. The composition is enclosed within a beaded inner circle and a plain raised rim. The legend 'The Nativity of Buddha' is inscribed in Latin script along the lower portion of the inner circle. |

The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation has held its summit in Kathmandu on three occasions, and Nepal has consistently issued commemorative silver pieces to mark each one. The 18th SAARC Summit, held in Kathmandu in November 2014, was notable for the attendance of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi — his first multilateral engagement after taking office, signaling a deliberate regional diplomacy push that drew unusual international attention to what is typically a low-profile forum.
