Interesting fact
The ¼ Mohar coin from Nepal, issued during the reign of Prithvi Bir Bikram in 1816-1817 (1894-1895), features an interesting blend of traditional Nepalese architecture and European influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized representation of the Kathmandu Valley, with the Bhadgaon Temple in the center, surrounded by mountains and trees. The reverse side features the Nepalese national emblem, a shield with the flag of Nepal on top, surrounded by two elephants and a garland of flowers. This coin is a unique example of how Nepalese culture and European colonial influence came together in the design of a currency.
