The Nepalese one-rupee coin (रु 1) is the lowest denomination of the Nepalese rupee and is primarily used for very small transactions or as change in Nepal. Introduced to replace the one-rupee banknote, the coin features national symbols and cultural motifs.
Although its everyday use has declined, the Re. 1 coin remains an official part of Nepal's currency system.
