Nepal launched its "Visit Nepal Year" tourism campaign in 1998, and this coin was issued a year ahead as part of the promotional groundwork — an unusual case of a commemorative preceding rather than marking its own occasion. The program represented a significant push by the government to develop international tourism infrastructure following years of political upheaval surrounding the 1990 constitutional reforms that ended Panchayat rule and forced Birendra to accept multiparty democracy.
