1 Rupee coin (Mount Everest)

1 Rupee — Mount Everest (Issued 2020)

The 1 Rupee is a circulating coin of Nepal struck in 2020. It is made of brass-plated steel, giving it a warm golden appearance over a durable steel core, and is a small, light piece weighing around 4 grams with a diameter of 20 mm. Its round shape and modest size made it well suited to everyday, low-value transactions. As one of the smaller denominations in the series, it would have passed through general circulation in shops and markets across the country.

The obverse is dominated by Mount Everest at its centre. Above the mountain the name of the country appears in Devanagari script, while below the peak the Nepali name of Mount Everest is rendered in Latin letters, followed by the word “Nepal”. The year of issue, given in the Vikram Samvat calendar, is placed at the bottom.

The reverse shows an outline map of Nepal at its centre, divided into the country’s states. To the right of the map a single raised dot marks the value in braille. Above the map, mountains rise in the background, with the value shown in English at the top and repeated in Devanagari at the bottom.
