| Additional information |
Prithvi Bir Bikram Shah reigned under heavy political constraint — effective power in Nepal during this period sat with the Rana prime ministers, not the monarchy. This coin was struck during the final years of his reign before his death in 1911, when Jung Bahadur Rana's successors still controlled the state apparatus entirely. The Shah kings during this era were ceremonial figures; their coinage circulated as legal tender while the men whose portraits never appeared on any coin held actual authority.
