| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field dominated by a stylised trident (trishula) surmounted by a flaming finial, flanked by a sun and crescent moon in the upper field, emblems sacred to Shiva. The trishula is set within a pointed cartouche or lozenge frame, with additional auspicious symbols — including a conch shell (shankha) and what appears to be a stylised lotus or yoni motif — surrounding the central device. Devanagari legends occupy the four quadrants of the field. The entire design is enclosed within a plain inner border and an outer beaded or rope border characteristic of Bhaktapur hammered silver coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Bhaktapur was the smallest and most isolated of the three Newar kingdoms of the Kathmandu Valley, and by Ranajit Malla's reign it was already under sustained political pressure from the expanding Gorkha kingdom to the west. Prithvi Narayan Shah would conquer all three valley kingdoms between 1744 and 1769, ending Newar coinage entirely. This quarter mohar dates to a period when Bhaktapur's mint was still active but the kingdom had perhaps forty years left.
