Nepalese 10-rupee coin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nepalese ten-rupee coin (रु 10) was a circulating denomination of the Nepalese rupee and was widely used for everyday transactions across Nepal. It was one of the higher-value coins in circulation before the wider introduction of banknotes of the same denomination.[1]

As paper currency became more practical for frequent use, the ten-rupee banknote was later introduced as a replacement for the coin. Over time, the minting of the Rs. 10 coin was officially discontinued, though existing coins continued to circulate for some time.
