| Reverse description | Draped bust of Queen Mother Ratna Rajya Lakshmi Devi Shah facing left, wearing spectacles and a pearl necklace, her hair arranged in an upswept style. Devanagari legend surrounds the effigy, reading 'राजमाता बडामहारानी रत्न राज्य लक्ष्मी देवी शाह' along the upper periphery. The denomination appears bilingual in both Devanagari numerals (रू ६००) and Roman script (Rs 600) flanking the portrait. An inscription commemorating the Queen Mother's birthday celebration appears in the lower field, with 'नेपाल' (Nepal) at the base. The entire design is framed by a beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Issued to honor Queen Mother Ratna Rajya Lakshmi Devi Shah, consort of the late King Mahendra, this piece appeared during Birendra's reign at a moment when Nepal's commemorative silver program was expanding rapidly to serve the international collector market. The .999 fineness places it among the purer silver issues of the series — Nepal's commemoratives of this period occasionally varied in stated purity, and KM#1041 sits at the cleaner end of that range.
