On the notes of republican Nepal, Mount Everest always stands in the left corner of the front, next to a shrine that differs for each value. On the five rupees it is Kasthamandap, the wooden temple-pavilion on Durbar Square in old Kathmandu.
Everest took the place of the royal portrait on Nepalese banknotes: from 2007 the bank began removing King Gyanendra's name, image and royal symbols from its notes, and in 2008 the monarchy in Nepal was abolished. The current range continues this republican line.
The back shows yaks against Himalayan peaks, and the watermark window holds the rhododendron, Nepal's national flower. The note was printed by China Banknote Printing and Minting Corporation (CBPM); it is dated 2020 and signed by Governor Maha Prasad Adhikari.
The lowest value of Nepal's current range, in which every note combines Everest, a temple and a Himalayan animal, it is a natural first entry in the series and in a «mountains on banknotes» set. UNC condition means the note has never circulated: no folds, no wear, no soiling, even corners — just as it left the press.
Collectors who focus on a single country will find its other banknote issues in the VPcoins catalogue as well.
