Additional information

Nepal issued this coin to commemorate postage stamps as a collectible medium in their own right — an unusual choice that reflects the philatelic enthusiasm the Nepal Rastra Bank promoted through the mid-2000s. Few nations have struck circulating-weight coinage specifically honoring the stamp as an object.
