| Additional information |
Bhaskara Malla ruled Kathmandu from 1700 to 1714, a period of persistent friction among the three rival Malla kingdoms of the Kathmandu Valley — Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur. Coinage under his reign was struck at the royal mint and followed the mohar weight standard that had governed Nepalese silver currency since the seventeenth century, though individual kings frequently adjusted fineness in ways that created practical headaches for merchants trading across valley borders.
KM#217 is one of several mohar types attributed to Bhaskara Malla, distinguished by die characteristics rather than any change in monetary policy.
