| Additional information |
Surendra Bikram Shah ruled Nepal from 1847 effectively under the thumb of Jung Bahadur Rana, whose seizure of power in the Kot Massacre of 1846 reduced the monarchy to a ceremonial fixture. Coins continued to be struck in the king's name throughout this period, but real authority — including decisions over the currency — rested entirely with the Rana prime ministers.
The extended date range of this issue reflects that administrative continuity rather than any particular royal initiative.
