| Comments |
Nepal Rastra Bank introduced a redesigned 100 Rupee series in the early 2010s as part of a broader effort to standardize security features across the circulating range following concerns about counterfeiting of older issues. P#73 sits within that revision cycle rather than marking any discrete monetary event.
Cotton substrate with a security thread and watermark places this firmly in the mid-tier of contemporary South Asian note security — adequate for domestic circulation but modest against regional counterfeiting capabilities documented in Nepal's border zones during this period.
