Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Sho (2/3 Mohar) ND from Nepal made of Silver is that it was minted during the reign of King Prithvi Bir Bikram Shah Dev, who ruled Nepal from 1881 to 1911. The coin features an image of the king on one side and a depiction of the mythical bird, Garuda, on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from the previous coins of the time, which were made of copper or other base metals. This change in material was likely a result of the king's desire to showcase the wealth and prosperity of Nepal during his reign.
