1/2 Mohar - Rajendra Vikrama

Rajendra Bikram Shah ascended the throne as a child following the abdication of his father Girvan Yuddha Bikram Shah, and his early reign was dominated entirely by queen regent Lalit Tripura Sundari. The coins struck under his name during this period reflect that regency arrangement — issued in the king's name by convention, but with political authority residing elsewhere.

Nepal's silver coinage of this period drew on locally sourced bullion routed through Kathmandu's trade networks with Tibet, a supply chain that would come under increasing strain through the 1820s.
