Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Mohar coin from the Kathmandu Kingdom (Malla dynasty) 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 diverse cultural and religious influences present in the Kathmandu Valley during the Malla dynasty's rule.
