Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Mohar - Surendra Vikrama 1790 (1868) coin from Nepal is that it was made of gold and weighed 2.8 grams. This makes it a unique and valuable coin, as most coins from this time period were made of less valuable metals like copper or silver. The fact that it was made of gold suggests that it was a high-denomination coin and may have been used for large transactions or as a store of value. Additionally, the fact that it was issued in 1868, during the reign of Surendra Vikrama, makes it a piece of history that is tied to the political and economic context of Nepal during that time.
