| Additional information |
Mahindra Simha ruled Kathmandu for only a few years in the early eighteenth century before the valley's three rival kingdoms — Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur — were unified by force under Prithvi Narayan Shah in 1768. Coins from this period reflect the last generations of independent Newar royal authority, each of the three kingdoms maintaining its own mint and its own coinage right up to conquest.
The mohar was the primary silver denomination of the Kathmandu mint throughout this era, struck to a weight standard that had remained broadly consistent for over a century prior.
