| Obverse description | Traditional Nepalese yantra-style design featuring a central square panel subdivided into six compartments bearing the royal name and titles of King Birendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev in Devanagari script. The name reads across the registers as श्री श्री / श्री पु वीरेन्द्र / वीर विक्रम / शाह देव, with the Vikram Samvat date 2043 inscribed in Devanagari numerals at the base within a stylized cartouche. The entire composition is framed by a beaded border running along the coin's rim, with decorative diagonal line elements and floral motifs at the corners of the central panel. |

| Additional information |
Nepal hosted its first national Scout Jamboree in 1986, a relatively late entry into organized Scouting for a country that had only formally affiliated with the World Organization of the Scout Movement in 1952. The commemorative issue was authorized by Nepal Rastra Bank as part of a broader program of silver collector coins targeting the international numismatic market during the 1980s — a common revenue strategy among smaller nations at the time.
The .500 fineness is notably low for a commemorative silver issue, placing it closer to circulation-quality alloy than the .925 standard most contemporary collector pieces used.
