The Nepalese rupee is the official currency of the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal. The Nepalese rupee was introduced in 1932 when it replaced the Nepalese mohar. Nepal Rastra Bank, the country’s central bank that designs and prints currency, is responsible for records regarding the history of the notes and how they evolved.

The first Nepali paper notes called more were issued by King Tribhuvan in 1945 and printed in India. Nepali banknotes are known for their diversity: their size, colors, animals, and their elemental design.

This 50 Rupees banknote issued in the year 2005 depicts King Gyanendra on the front dressed in Daura Suruwal, the national dress along with the Nepal Rastra Bank building and Mt. Machhapuchhre and Lumbini Ashok Stambha pillar which was the birthplace of Lord Buddha. The reverse depicts a Pair of danphe- the national bird of Nepal.
