The Nepalese one-hundred-rupee banknote (रु 100) is a frequently used denomination of the Nepalese rupee. It is currently in circulation and commonly used for everyday and moderate-value transactions throughout Nepal.
Originally issued during the monarchy, the note featured the portrait of the king. After the monarchy was abolished in 2008, the Nepal Rastra Bank released a new series, replacing the royal portrait with imagery representing Nepal's natural beauty and cultural landmarks.[1]
