The World Hindu Federation — Vishwa Hindu Mahasangh in Nepali — held its international convention in Kathmandu, prompting this commemorative issue. The timing was politically loaded: by 2005, King Gyanendra had dismissed the elected government and assumed direct rule, positioning the monarchy as the defender of Nepal's status as the world's only constitutionally declared Hindu state. That status would be revoked by parliament just one year later, in 2006, making this coin a product of the final chapter of Hindu kingship in Nepal.
