Nepal to Mint New One-Rupee Coin Featuring Contested Map Including Disputed Territories
Nepal's national bank will issue a new one-rupee coin featuring a map that includes the disputed territories of Limpiyadhura, Lipulekh, and Kalapani, which Nepal claims but India considers part of Uttarakhand. Although the government had initially approved replacing the map with a monastery, it reversed the decision following public and opposition pressure. The new coin will be smaller and lighter, with changes to its size and metal, while retaining the controversial map. India has urged bilateral dialogue to resolve the dispute.
