50 Rupees - Gyanendra Bir Bikram Kumari Jatra

Kumari Jatra is the central event of Indra Jatra, Kathmandu's eight-day festival honoring the god Indra, during which the Living Goddess — a prepubescent girl selected through rigorous ritual examination — is paraded through the old city in a wooden chariot. Gyanendra's decision to associate the crown with this issue carried pointed political weight: by 2007 he had already been stripped of executive power following the 2006 jana andolan uprising, and the monarchy was abolished entirely the following year. This coin was among the last Nepalese issues to bear his name.
