| Additional information |
Girvan Yuddha Bikram Shah ascended the throne as an infant in 1799 following his father Rana Bahadur Shah's forced abdication, with real power exercised by a succession of regents during one of Nepal's most fractious periods — a time when the kingdom was simultaneously consolidating territorial gains from the Gorkha conquests while managing the growing pressure of the East India Company on its southern borders. The 1/8 mohar in gold occupies the smallest practical denomination in the Shah-era gold coinage, struck in limited quantities that reflected ceremonial and religious demand more than everyday exchange.
