| Additional information |
Birendra's coronation on February 24, 1975 — delayed nearly three years after his father Mahendra's death in January 1972 — was staged with considerable ceremony, partly to consolidate the new king's authority under the Panchayat system, a partyless political structure Mahendra had imposed in 1960 and Birendra inherited. Nepal issued several denominations to mark the occasion, with this 25 Rupee piece sitting in the middle tier of a commemorative series that ran from 1 Rupee up to 100 Rupees in higher silver fineness.
