    Hi Siberian Man what is that catalog KM# for this coin ??? trying to look this coin up with no success. this coins picture of the coin is not in the catalog. I see something simular to this coin being the 20 paisa but the obverse looks different on the bottom. ???

    I have a similar coin:

    Nepal Silver 1 Rupee VS 2007 (AD 1950)

    One interesting fact about these coins is that they were used to pay porters and Sherpas who worked with mountaineering expeditions, including the 1950 French Annapurna expedition and the 1953 British Everest expedition.
