1/4 Mohar - Mahindra Simha

Mahindra Simha ruled Kathmandu for only a handful of years in the early eighteenth century, one of several kings navigating the increasingly fractious political competition among the three Malla kingdoms of the Kathmandu Valley — Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur. Within decades of this coin's striking, Prithvi Narayan Shah would launch the campaign that unified Nepal under Gorkha rule and extinguished the Malla dynasties entirely by 1769.
