| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field dominated by a bold Devanagari inscription arranged in four quadrants, divided by a raised cross-line framework characteristic of early Nepalese hammered coinage. The legend reads 'श्री श्री भास्करा मल्ल', invoking the royal honorific 'Shri Shri' above the name of the issuing monarch, Bhaskara Malla. The script is rendered in a robust, slightly archaic Devanagari hand typical of the Malla-period Kathmandu mint. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with natural planchet irregularities at the periphery consistent with hand-hammered production. No figurative or symbolic devices are present; the entire design is epigraphic in character. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Bhaskara Malla ruled Kathmandu from 1700 to 1714, a period of persistent rivalry among the three Malla kingdoms of the Nepal Valley — Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur. That fragmentation meant each court maintained its own mint and coinage, producing tiny silver dam pieces in quantities tied directly to palace finances rather than any broader monetary policy. At 0.58 g, the dam was the smallest denomination in regular circulation, handling the kind of petty transactions that larger silver tolas could not.
