1 Mohar - Vishnu Malla

Patan (Lalitpur) was one of three rival Malla kingdoms occupying the Kathmandu Valley, each minting its own coinage in deliberate competition with Kathmandu and Bhaktapur. By 1729, that rivalry was increasingly precarious — the valley kingdoms were already under sustained pressure from Prithvi Narayan Shah's expanding Gorkha confederacy, which would ultimately conquer all three within decades. Vishnu Malla's reign produced mohars that circulated primarily within the valley's dense trade networks connecting Tibet to the Gangetic plains.

Nepal's silver coinage was routinely debased across this period, and the purity of individual issues varied considerably between reigns.
