Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Sho (2/3 Mohar) 1697 (1775) silver coin from Nepal is that it features a unique blend of Tibetan and Nepali architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's design includes a depiction of a stupa, which is a dome-shaped structure commonly found in Tibetan Buddhist architecture, surrounded by intricate carvings and floral patterns that are characteristic of Nepali art. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural exchange and blending that occurred between Tibet and Nepal during the time period in which the coin was minted.
