The Nepalese two-rupee banknote (रु 2) was a low-value denomination of the Nepalese rupee, first issued in 1981. The note was in circulation throughout Nepal and commonly used for small transactions. During its issuance, it featured the portrait of the reigning monarch.[1]
The two-rupee banknote continued to be printed until 1999, after which it was gradually phased out and replaced by coins of the same denomination.
