| Additional information |
Nepal's first dedicated eye hospital, the Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital Eye Department, had long struggled with capacity, and by the 1990s preventable blindness — largely from cataracts and trachoma — remained a serious public health burden across the country's rural districts. This coin was issued to mark the founding of the Nepal Eye Hospital and raise its profile as a national institution under royal patronage. Commemorative rupee issues tied to specific charitable or medical causes were a deliberate policy of the Nepal Rastra Bank through this decade.
