This exceptional Nepal 2 Paisa copper coin features King Tribhuvan Bir Bikram Shah, who reigned during a transformative period in Nepalese history (1911-1950). Minted between 1935-1942 (Vikram Samvat 1992-1999), this piece represents a fascinating era of Himalayan numismatics. The coin is composed of pure copper, weighing 5.9 grams with a diameter of 27mm, displaying the characteristic milled technique and medal alignment of the period. What makes this specimen particularly desirable is its rare UNC (Uncirculated) condition—exceptionally difficult to find for coins of this age and circulation history. The 2 Paisa denomination, though modest in face value, holds substantial collector appeal due to its historical significance and scarcity in pristine condition. This piece has been demonetized, making it purely a collectible artifact rather than currency. For numismatists specializing in South Asian coinage, Nepalese royal issues, or vintage copper coins, this UNC example represents an outstanding acquisition. Its combination of historical provenance, excellent preservation, and relative rarity makes it a treasured addition to any serious collection. #
