Nepalese Rupee - Banknotes

Banknotes

On 17 September 1945, the government introduced notes for 5, 10 and 100 rupees, with the name mohru used in Nepalese. Nepal Rastra Bank took over note issuance in 1960. In 1969, 1,000-rupee notes were added, followed by 500 rupees in 1971, and 50 rupees in 1977, and 2 rupees in 1981, after the discontinuation of production of 1-rupee notes. 20-rupee notes were introduced in 1982. 1- and 2-rupee notes are no longer produced, although previously issued ones are still in circulation.

There are also 25- and 250-rupee notes commemorating the Silver Jubilee of Birendra Bir Bikram Shah in 1997.

Since 2007, Nepalese rupee banknotes have been produced by Perum Peruri, the National Mint Public Company of Indonesia.
