| Comments |
Nepal Rastra Bank issued this note under King Mahendra Bir Bikram, though he died in January 1972 and his son Birendra succeeded him almost immediately. Notes bearing Mahendra's name continued in production and circulation into the early years of Birendra's reign — a common transitional overlap that creates genuine uncertainty about which notes actually entered circulation before and after the succession.
Bradbury Wilkinson's New Malden facility handled Nepalese currency production across multiple reigns and decades, a relationship that stretched well into the 1970s.
