Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Mohar coin from Nepal is that it was minted during the reign of King Prithvi Bir Bikram Shah, who ruled Nepal from 1826 to 1829, and then again from 1904 to 1907. This coin was a standard circulation coin made of silver and weighed 2.66 grams. It is a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists today, given its historical significance and limited mintage.
