NRB sells 41,000 silver coins during Tihar

The central bank issued only silver coins this year, citing a lack of high-purity gold, with total sales valued at around Rs130 million.

Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) said around 41,000 silver coins were sold during this year’s Tihar. The central bank did not issue gold coins, citing a shortage of high-quality 999.99-touch gold, and released only silver coins for distribution.
