| Comments |
Nepal Rastra Bank introduced a redesigned 20 Rupee series in the early 2000s, and P#71 falls within the later printings of that run. The 20 Rupee denomination has historically been one of the highest-volume notes in Nepali daily commerce — used heavily in bazaars and rural markets where larger denominations are routinely broken down and where significant wear accumulates quickly. Circulated survivors from this period frequently show ink abrasion along the fold lines, a known issue with the cotton substrate used across the series.
