1 Mohar - Riddhi Narasimha

Patan — one of the three rival Newari kingdoms occupying the Kathmandu Valley — maintained its own mint and coinage traditions entirely distinct from neighboring Kathmandu and Bhaktapur, despite the cities lying within a few kilometers of one another. The mohar was the standard silver unit across all three kingdoms, but designs and rulers' names diverged sharply, making attribution essential. Riddhi Narasimha Malla ruled Patan from 1685 until the kingdom's absorption by Prithvi Narayan Shah's Gorkha forces in 1736, a conquest that extinguished Patan's independent coinage after roughly a century of continuous minting.
