Additional information

Dolakha functioned as a semi-autonomous principality in the hills east of Kathmandu, and its coinage tradition is poorly represented in major collections. Indra Simha Deva's reign falls within a period of sustained fragmentation across the hill kingdoms before the Malla consolidation tightened regional authority. The RGV reference corpus remains one of the few systematic attempts to catalog this material, which rarely surfaces in Western auction records.

The 10.10g weight standard places this tanka within a local silver tradition that diverged meaningfully from the concurrent Kathmandu Valley issues.
