背面描述	A central circular medallion encloses a sword or kukri device surrounded by a floral wreath. Six petal-like lobes radiate outward from the central circle, each containing portions of the devotional legend referring to Lokanatha (Avalokiteshvara), the patron deity of Patan. The composition is enclosed within a beaded border, consistent with hammered silver coinage of the Malla period.

附加信息	Rajya Prakash Malla ruled Patan — one of the three rival Newar kingdoms of the Kathmandu Valley — during a period of intensifying political fragmentation that would ultimately make all three kingdoms vulnerable to Prithvi Narayan Shah's Gorkha conquests. Patan fell in 1768. The fractional mohar series from this reign reflects the valley's highly localized monetary practice, where each kingdom maintained its own silver coinage despite operating in close geographic and commercial proximity to rivals in Kathmandu and Bhaktapur. The .616 fineness is characteristic of Patan's declining silver standard across the mid-eighteenth century.
