100 Rupees

The Nepal 100 Rupees 2024 denomination represents a significant geopolitical statement through its map design, featuring the revised political boundaries of Nepal that include the territories of Lipulekh, Limpiyadhura, and Kalapani. Nepal's cabinet approved this design in May 2024, emphasizing national territorial claims. The printing contract was awarded to the Chinese company China Banknote Printing and Minting Corporation in October 2024, with plans to produce 300 million banknotes. The production cost was estimated at approximately 8,996,592 US dollars, translating to roughly 4 rupees and 4 paisa per note.
