The Nepalese two-hundred-fifty-rupee banknote (रु 250) was a special commemorative denomination of the Nepalese rupee, first issued in 1997. It was released to mark the Silver Jubilee (25 years) of King Birendra's coronation and was circulated in limited quantities throughout Nepal.[1]
As a commemorative banknote, the रु.250 was not intended for long-term circulation and remains a notable collectible in Nepal's currency history.
