Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Dam - Surendra Vikram Shah 1788-1799 (1866-1877) from Nepal made of Copper weighing 1.5 g is that it features an image of the Nepalese king Surendra Vikram Shah on one side and an image of a rhino on the other. The use of the rhino image is significant because it is a symbol of strength and power in Nepalese culture. Additionally, the coin's design was influenced by the Indian rupee, which was the official currency of Nepal at the time.
