| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central design depicts a stylized relief map of Nepal with the snow-capped summit of Mount Everest rising prominently above the country's outline, rendered in fine detail with glacial ridges and rocky faces. The word 'NEPAL' is inscribed in bold Latin letters across the map. A bilingual legend arcs around the upper periphery, reading 'CONQUEST OF MT. EVEREST' in Latin script and the Devanagari equivalent above it. The denomination 'Rs. 500' appears in the lower central field, with the commemorative date range '1953–2003' below, marking the 50th anniversary of the first ascent of Everest. The entire design is enclosed within a raised bead border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nepal's commemorative silver program of the early 2000s coincided with one of the most politically turbulent periods in the country's modern history. Gyanendra had assumed the throne in June 2001 following the royal massacre that killed nine members of the royal family, including King Birendra. His reign was contested from the outset, and by 2005 he would dissolve parliament entirely and assume direct rule — a move that accelerated the monarchy's eventual abolition in 2008.
This piece was struck two years before that constitutional rupture, during a window when royal coinage still carried institutional weight.
