Descrizione del rovescio	The reverse features a dense arrangement of Devanagari inscriptions occupying the central and surrounding fields, recording the royal name and regnal titles of King Mahindra Simha of Kathmandu. A decorative dotted border encircles the entire design, a hallmark of Nepalese mohar coinage of this period. The legends are struck in the compact, angular Nepalese Devanagari script characteristic of early 18th-century hammered silver issues from the Kathmandu Valley.

Informazioni aggiuntive	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.
