| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the portraits of Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa in high relief, shown in their mountaineering attire with goggles and cold-weather gear, commemorating their historic first ascent of Mount Everest on 29 May 1953. The legend CONQUEST OF MT. EVEREST curves along the upper periphery within a beaded border, while HILLARY and TENZING are inscribed to the left and right of the central figures respectively. The fineness mark .9999 GOLD and the issuing country NEPAL appear in the field flanking the portrait group. The commemorative dates 1953–2003, marking the fiftieth anniversary of the summit, are displayed in a rectangular tablet at the base of the design. |
