The Nepal Rastra Bank has officially brought the new 1000 rupee banknote series of 2025 into circulation starting today, Ashoj 8.
Details of the New Note
The new bank note keeps the same size as the previous one, but there is change in the color. It is now purple inside a light green frame. The serial numbers for these notes range from 92 000001 to 99 999999. On the front side, it has the standard promise from the Nepal Rastra Bank that they will pay 1000 rupees immediately to the person who demands it.
Design and Security Features
On the left side of the note, you can see the image of Mount Everest, and on the right, there is a watermark of the national flower, the Rhododendron. Below this watermark, the number 1000 is written. There is also a see-through register on the right side that shows a partial 1000, which becomes complete when you hold it against the light. For people with visual impairments, a Roman letter M is placed on the bottom right to help them identify the note. Additionally, there are 10 horizontal lines on each side of the central images to help with recognition.
The note also includes a 3.5 millimeter wide security thread. This thread looks red when seen straight but changes to green when tilted, and it has the letters NRB and the number 1000 on it. The note carries the signature of Nepal Rastra Bank Governor Prof. Dr. Bishwanath Poudel and the series number says B.S. 2082 at the bottom.
Backside and Other Information
The back of the note features an image of twin elephants named Ram and Laxman, who were born at the government elephant breeding center in Chitwan. Above this picture, it is written NEPAL RASTRA BANK. On the right side, there is an image of a historic pillar from Lhonchok in Hanuman Dhoka, and the words RUPEES ONE THOUSAND are printed there. The bottom border mentions the series number as 2025 A.D.
The bank previously issued a notice on Shrawan 7, 2077, for the 2019 series notes, but only a certain range of those notes were distributed. Because of this, the new series 2025 starts its serial numbers from 92 000001.
