| Additional information |
Rana Bahadur Shah came to the throne as an infant in 1777, and his reign through the 1780s and 90s was effectively controlled by a succession of regents amid fierce factional struggle within the Shah court. He was eventually declared insane, forced to abdicate in 1799, and exiled to Varanasi — one of the more chaotic royal exits in Nepalese history. Coins struck under his name during this period reflect an administration that was, in practice, run by others.
