Reverse
On the reverse, two intersecting triangles form a rhombus. In the center of the rhombus is a vermilion box with a bucket of conch and mace (the husk of the mucad nut, used as a condiment). A legend is interwoven around it: "Sri Narendra Lakshmi Devi, Sri Pratapa Lakshmi Devi, 805".
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Mohar coin from the Patan Kingdom (Malla dynasty) is that it features an image of Lord Vishnu, which is a departure from the usual depiction of the king or emperor on coins from that era. This suggests that the ruler, Yoga Narendra Malla, was a devout Hindu and wanted to highlight his religious beliefs through the coinage.
