| Additional information |
Pratap Singh Shah ruled for less than three years before dying in 1777 at around age twenty, leaving behind a posthumous son who would become Rana Bahadur Shah. His coinage, struck during this brief reign, reflects the hammered silver tradition inherited directly from his father Prithvi Narayan Shah, who had only unified Nepal under Gorkha rule in 1768. The political continuity was deliberate — the new kingdom needed monetary credibility it had not yet earned.
