| Additional information |
Issued to commemorate the establishment of Nepal's Auditor General office, this piece belongs to a wave of commemorative issues Nepal produced through the early 1980s marking domestic institutions rather than royal anniversaries. The Auditor General's office, formalized under Nepal's constitutional framework during the Panchayat era, was a relatively quiet subject for a commemorative coin — the choice reflects the government's interest in projecting administrative legitimacy during a period when Birendra's rule faced growing pressure for democratic reform.
The billon composition — unusually low silver content for a commemorative — kept production costs down while maintaining the weight expected of a presentation piece.
