Additional information

Chakravartendra Malla ruled Kathmandu for less than two years before his death in 1670, making his coinage among the shortest-reigned issues of the classic Malla period. The Kathmandu valley kingdoms — Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur — operated as rival polities throughout the 17th century, each minting their own mohars, and the brief reigns that punctuated this fragmented political arrangement produced naturally low-volume issues. RGV#264 is among the scarcer Kathmandu listings in Rajendra Pradhan's reference.
