| Additional information |
Jaya Prakash Malla's second reign was not a restoration of stability — it was a prolonged rearguard action against the expanding Gorkha kingdom under Prithvi Narayan Shah. He co-ruled an increasingly fractured Kathmandu Valley, relying on alliances with Patan and Bhaktapur that repeatedly collapsed. The mohars struck during this period were among the last independent issues of the Kathmandu kingdom; within two decades of this type's final year, the valley's three kingdoms had all fallen to Gorkha conquest.
Jaya Prakash ultimately fled to the British East India Company seeking military intervention. It arrived too late. Kathmandu fell in 1768.
