Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ¼ Mohar coin from the Bhaktapur Kingdom is that it features a unique blend of Hindu and Buddhist motifs. The obverse side of the coin depicts a representation of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, while the reverse side features the Buddhist wheel of dharma, also known as the Dharmachakra. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Malla dynasty, which ruled over a region that was home to both Hindu and Buddhist populations.
