Nepal Coins - Commemorative silver coin - not in Krause MadMuffin - Sep 13, 2003 - 03:13 AM Post subject: Commemorative silver coin - not in Krause
This coin was on Ebay recently. It is not in the Standard Catalog of World Coins (not in my 2002 edition anyway). What does it commemorate and is it that scarce? It is the first time that I have seen it.

Thanks. It is the first time I have actually seen it. I found it interesting because it appears to have been struck in Kathmandu. Most of the commemoratives from Nepal are struck outside the country by now and I don't find them as interesting.

This coin and most of the commemorative as well as regular coins are struck in Nepal. only the proof coins are normally struck outside the country. on May 29,2003 Newzealand has minted few Gold and silver proof coins for Nepal,which were issued to commemorate the Golgen Jubilee of the ascent of Mt.Everest.[addsig]

Where can I find the Mt. Everest Commemorative Coins? I believe they are 1983, 1993, and 2003

The coins that you mention are sometimes offered for sale on Ebay. But you may have to be a little patient as they have only been made in very limited numbers. Right now one of the coins you are searching for is offered for sale:
