1 Mohar - Prithvi Bir Bikram

Prithvi Bir Bikram Shah was nine years old when he ascended the throne in 1881 following the death of Surendra Bir Bikram, making this among the earliest coinage issued under a child king whose reign would eventually run until 1911. Real authority during these first years rested with the Rana prime ministers, not the monarch — a political reality that the coinage itself quietly obscures.
