| Additional information |
Tribhuvana ascended the throne in 1911 at age five, making him one of the youngest rulers under whom Nepalese silver coinage was struck. Effective power rested entirely with the Rana prime ministers — in this case Chandra Shumsher Jang Bahadur Rana — who controlled the state apparatus while the king remained largely a ceremonial figure. The mohar denomination had anchored Nepalese trade and taxation for centuries by this point, its weight standard long familiar to hill traders and Terai merchants alike.
