1 Mohar - Surendra Vikram Shah

Surendra Vikram Shah's reign was defined less by the king himself than by the Rana oligarchy that effectively governed Nepal from 1846 onward, following Jung Bahadur Rana's seizure of power after the Kot Massacre. Surendra was kept as a ceremonial figurehead, and coinage issued in his name across this thirty-four year span functioned as a political instrument — maintaining the fiction of royal authority while real power resided elsewhere.

The mohar remained Nepal's principal silver unit throughout this period, its weight standard largely preserved from Shah dynasty predecessors.
