The Nepalese fifty-rupee banknote (रु 50) is a mid-range denomination of the Nepalese rupee. It is currently in circulation and widely used for everyday transactions throughout Nepal.
The note was first issued during the monarchy and featured the portrait of the King. Following the abolition of the monarchy in 2008, the Nepal Rastra Bank introduced a new series, replacing the royal portrait with images highlighting Nepal’s rich cultural heritage and scenic landscapes.[1]
