Semicircular hammered silver flan displaying an intricate interlaced floral and foliate design in the Nepalese traditional style. The field is filled with stylised lotus-petal motifs and curvilinear knotwork arranged in a dense, symmetrical composition. Devanagari legend elements appear integrated within the decorative framework. The curved outer border is defined by a continuous raised beaded rim running along the entire arc of the half-circle flan. |

Reverse of this hammered half-mohar displays a bold cruciform arrangement of Devanagari inscription compartments set within a square central panel, typical of Nepalese coinage of the late Shah period. Each quadrant of the cross contains characters from the royal legend, while the interstitial spaces bear small decorative rosette or floral ornaments. Scrolling foliate borders frame the central device, and a raised beaded border follows the curved periphery of the semicircular flan, consistent with hammered Nepalese mint production of the period. |

Pratap Simha ruled Nepal for less than two years before his death in 1777, making his coinage among the shortest-reigned issues of the Shah dynasty. The ¾ Sho denomination itself is an unusual fractional unit tied to Nepal's pre-unification monetary reckoning, distinct from the more familiar Mohar series that dominated regional trade.
KM#483 is sparsely documented in auction records, which aligns with the brevity of the reign and the limited minting infrastructure of Kathmandu at the time.
