In the name of Queen Samrajya LakshmiInteresting fact
The ¼ Mohar coin from Nepal, issued during the reign of Rajendra Vikrama (1746-1759 and 1824-1837), features an interesting blend of traditional Nepalese and Western influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a standing figure of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of the Nepalese national emblem, which includes a pair of rhinos supporting a shield with the Nepalese flag. This unique blend of cultural elements reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred during this time period in Nepal.
