50 Paisa coin Nepal

50 Paisa Nepal (Silver, King Tribhuvan)

This fifty paisa piece belongs to the pre-decimal silver coinage of the Kingdom of Nepal, struck during the reign of King Tribhuvan Bir Bikram Shah Dev. Issued in silver, it has the bright white lustre and solid weight typical of the small silver denominations that circulated in the Himalayan kingdom, where value was still reckoned in the rupee and its paisa subdivisions. Its plain, unlettered edge and modest diameter made it a practical everyday piece of hard currency. The dates and legends are rendered in Devanagari script following the Vikram Samvat calendar.

On the obverse, the field is filled by a square yantra-like emblem divided into panels, with a trishul (Shiva’s trident) set within a small circle at the centre. Devanagari legends around and within the square give the royal name and titles of King Tribhuvan Bir Bikram Shah Dev, opening with the auspicious “Shri Shri” at the top, flanked by radiant sun and crescent-moon symbols. The regnal date in Devanagari numerals appears at the foot, all enclosed by a beaded border.

On the reverse, a khukuri, the curved Nepalese national knife, stands upright flanked by leafy floral sprays within a scalloped inner circle. The Devanagari inscriptions read “pachas paisa” (fifty paisa) and “Nepal”, identifying the denomination and issuing country, with a decorative petalled border framing the design to the rim.
