Comment
Quarter Mohar is also known as SukiInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Rajya Prakash Malla, who was the last ruler of the Malla dynasty in the Patan Kingdom. Despite being made of silver, the coin weighs only 1.33 grams, which is relatively light for a coin of its size and material. This may indicate that the coin was intended for everyday use and was not meant to be a high-value denomination. Additionally, the fact that it was issued during the 18th century suggests that it may have been used during a time of significant economic and cultural change in the region.
