Nepal's 10 Rupee notes of this period were printed by various security printers over successive issues, and the P#70 series is no exception to the quiet complexity that surrounds Nepalese banknote contracting — the issuing authority has not always made printer attribution straightforward for this denomination. The watermark security on notes of this value reflects a modest but functional specification, appropriate for a denomination that sees heavy everyday handling in a cash-dependent economy.
Nepal converted to a constitutional republic in 2008, ending 240 years of monarchy. Notes issued in the years immediately following that transition carry no royal cipher — a deliberate omission that marked a clean break from earlier series.
