Only six coins from the Dolakha Kingdom are known, each struck from different dies.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Tanka coin from the Dolakha Kingdom (Malla dynasty) is that it features an image of Indra Simha Deva, who was the king of the kingdom during the period 1540-1548. The coin also features the king's name in the Nagari script, which was commonly used in ancient Nepal. This coin is a rare and valuable artifact for collectors and historians, providing a glimpse into the economic and political systems of the Malla dynasty during that time period.
