1 Mohar - Prithvi Bir Bikram

Prithvi Bir Bikram Shah came to the throne at age five in 1881 following the death of his father Surendra, with the Rana prime ministers holding effective power throughout his entire reign. The Mohar had been Nepal's principal silver denomination since the 17th century, and issues under Prithvi Bir span the full thirty years of a reign defined entirely by Rana political domination — the king himself remained a largely ceremonial figure until his death in 1911.
