25 Paisa - Birendra Bir Bikram Coronation

Birendra's coronation on February 24, 1975 — delayed nearly four years after his father Mahendra's death in 1972 while astrological conditions were assessed — prompted a dedicated commemorative series across multiple denominations. The 1974 date on this piece reflects the minting year preceding the ceremony itself, a common practice for Nepali coronation issues produced in advance of the event.
