Aanvullende informatie

The Malla kingdoms of the Kathmandu Valley — Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur — operated as rival city-states throughout the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, each minting their own coinage as a direct assertion of independent authority. Mahindra Simha ruled Kathmandu during a period of intensifying pressure from both neighboring Malla rivals and the expanding Gorkha kingdom to the west, whose eventual conquest under Prithvi Narayan Shah in 1768 would extinguish Malla coinage entirely.

The mohar was the standard silver denomination underpinning Newar trade networks across the Himalayan passes into Tibet.
