Nepal's first government-issued banknotes — the "Mohru" series — replaced the coins and primitive scrip that had defined Nepalese exchange for generations. This 1953 series was produced before Nepal had any domestic printing infrastructure; the notes were printed by the Security Printing Works in Nasik, India, a facility that handled currency for several newly independent or reorganizing South Asian states during this period.
The Mohru denomination itself was short-lived as a unit name, soon standardized to the Rupee as Nepal modernized its monetary framework through the mid-1950s. Pick 6 is among the scarcer denominations of this foundational series.
