| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field displays multi-line Devanagari inscriptions arranged within a square panel, recording the royal legend and regnal references associated with Jaya Prakash Malla. A decorative device, likely a floral or symbolic motif, appears at the top of the central panel. The inscription panel is enclosed by an elaborate scalloped and lobed border with scrollwork and dot embellishments in the outer ring, consistent with the hammered silver coinage of the Malla dynasty of Kathmandu. The coin exhibits the characteristic irregular flan and bold relief of hand-struck Nepalese mohars of the eighteenth century. |

Jaya Prakash Malla ruled Kathmandu during one of the most fractious periods in Newar political history, when the three Malla kingdoms — Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur — were in near-constant rivalry with one another while simultaneously failing to organize any coherent resistance to the expanding Gorkha kingdom under Prithvi Narayan Shah. This coin was struck roughly two decades before Shah's forces finally took Kathmandu in 1768, an event that ended both Jaya Prakash's reign and the entire Malla dynasty.
The mohar was the standard silver unit of the Newar monetary system, and Jaya Prakash debased the coinage progressively across his reign — a detail worth noting when evaluating any example's silver content against the nominal specification.
