| Obverse description | Central design features a traditional Nepalese tantric yantra or royal cipher composed of interlocking rectangular panels arranged in a cruciform pattern, containing the royal name and titles of King Birendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev in Devanagari script. Four auspicious Hindu symbols — a conch shell, a lotus flower, a ceremonial sceptre, and a sun — occupy the cardinal quadrants flanking the central device. The Bikram Sambat regnal year 2039 appears in Devanagari numerals at the base. A beaded inner border and dotted outer border frame the entire design, with the honorific legend 'श्री श्री' visible at the top. |

| Reverse description | Central motif depicts two young Scouts in uniform kneeling in the field, engaged in planting a seedling — symbolising community service and environmental stewardship. The Devanagari legend 'श्री भवानी' and 'नेपाल' appear in the upper field, accompanied by the denomination 'रु २५०' and the royal honorific 'श्री ५'. The Latin legend 'YEAR OF THE SCOUT 1982–1983' curves along the lower periphery, with 'NEPAL' inscribed beneath the central motif. A beaded inner border and reeded outer rim complete the design. |
