| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central circular medallion enclosing a stylized face or mask motif with dot embellishments, flanked by ritual implements — a trident-like object to the left and a sword or standard to the right — rendered in high relief. Newar script legends occupy the upper and lower fields, arranged around the central device. The entire design is enclosed within a plain inner circle and a beaded outer border running the full circumference of the coin. The composition reflects the Hindu-Tantric iconographic tradition characteristic of the Malla-period Kathmandu Valley coinage. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large downward-pointing triangle (trikona), symbolic of the divine feminine or Shakti in Hindu-Tantric iconography, dominates the central field in bold raised relief. Newar script inscriptions surround the triangle in the field, with additional decorative dot clusters and floral ornaments filling the interstices. The design is enclosed within a plain inner circle, with a herringbone or rope-pattern border running along the coin's outer edge. The overall style is consistent with the hammered coinage of the Malla rulers of the Kathmandu Valley. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
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.
