1/2 Mohar - Rajendra Vikrama

Rajendra Bikram Shah's reign was defined less by policy than by the regents and factions that controlled him — he was effectively deposed by his own queen and the Thapa oligarchy before being exiled in 1847. Gold mohars of this period were struck at the Kathmandu mint under conditions of intense court instability, and the coinage reflects that: die alignment and flan preparation varied considerably across the issue, not from carelessness but from the repeated disruption of mint oversight as political power changed hands.
