| Obverse description | Within a beaded border, a central circle encloses two crossed khukuri (kukri) knives arranged with hilts downward and tips upward, a small dagger or sword depicted above the crossing point. A circular Devanagari legend surrounds the central device, identifying the issuing monarch, with the Bikram Sambat regnal date rendered in Devanagari numerals at the base of the field. The overall design is executed in a clean, medallic style characteristic of Nepalese copper coinage of the period. |
