| Additional information |
Issued to mark the centennial of the Gorkhapatra, Nepal's oldest continuously published newspaper, founded in 1901 under Rana Prime Minister Chandra Shamsher. The paper was originally a government mouthpiece during the autocratic Rana oligarchy and only gradually evolved toward independent journalism after the fall of that regime in 1951.
