Obverse description Central field divided into a grid-like compartmented panel containing Devanagari legends arranged in horizontal registers, typical of Nepalese hammered silver coinage of the period. The inscription records the name of the ruling king, Jaya Prakash Malla, along with the Newari Sambat date 865 (corresponding to 1745 CE). The design is enclosed within a plain linear border surrounded by a beaded outer rim. The coin exhibits the irregular, slightly uneven flan characteristic of hand-struck hammered issues. The overall style reflects the traditional Nepalese royal coinage conventions of the Malla dynasty.
