Nepal 1 and 2 Rupees 2001 to Date
Thanks so much, Lunna, for describing your coin in great detail. I wish all our visitors were like you. Often we get request like 'I have a coin. I can't read it. What's it worth?' lol!
So you can see by the picture that you have a modern 1 rupee from Nepal. The circle, square, and trident design appears on many Nepalese coins. Modern 2 rupee coins also have buildings on them. No older coins have buildings, but they have the circle, square, and trident design.
As to value, these coins are made of steel (often brass plated) and therefore carry no value due to precious metal. Roughly:
MODERN NEPALESE COINS:
circulated: less than $1 US dollar approximate catalog value
fully uncirculated: $5
Collectors like to add coins like this to their collections. They are willing to pay far above face value if the coin looks nice.
