Nepal 871

1958 Issue The Kingdom of Nepal, the


world's only Hindu kingdom, is
a landlocked country located in
central Asia along the southern
slopes of the Himalayan Moun-
tains. It has an area of 56,136
sq. mi. (140,797 sq. km.) and
a population of 24.35 million.
Capital: Káthmandu. Nepal has
substantial deposits of coal, cop-
per, iron and cobalt but they are
largely unexploited. Agriculture
is the principal economic activity.
Livestock, rice, timber and jute are exported.In 1951, the Nepalese monarch ended the cen-
tury-old system of rule by hereditary premiers and instituted a cabinet system of government.
Reforms in 1990 established a multiparty democracy within the framework of a constitutional
monarchy. An insurgency led by Maoist extremists broke out in 1996. The ensuing nine-year
civil war between insurgents and government forces witnessed the dissolution of the cabinet
and parliament and assumption of absolute power by the king. Several weeks of mass protests
in April 2006 were followed by several months of peace negotiations between the Maoists and

Netherlands 873

1961; 1965 ND Issue The Kingdom of the Neth-


erlands, a country of western
Europe fronting on the North
Sea and bordered by Belgium
and Germany, has an area of
15,770 sq. mi. (40,844 sq. km.)
and a population of 15.87 million.
Capital: Amsterdam, but the seat
of government is at The Hague.
The economy is based on dairy
farming and a variety of indus-
trial activities. Chemicals, yarns
and fabrics, and meat products are exported. The Dutch United Provinces declared their inde-
pendence from Spain in 1579; during the 17th century, they became a leading seafaring and
commercial power, with settlements and colonies around the world. After a 20-year French
occupation, a Kingdom of the Netherlands was formed in 1815. In 1830 Belgium seceded and
formed a separate kingdom. The Netherlands remained neutral in World War I, but suffered
invasion and occupation by Germany in World War II. A modern, industrialized nation, the Neth-
erlands is also a large exporter of agricultural products. The country was a founding member
of NATO and the EEC (now the EU), and participated in the introduction of the euro in 1999.

MONETARY SYSTEM
Tanka Series, c.1560-1639AD
The main Nepalese silver coinage began soon after 1560AD
with fine silver coins, struck to a tanka standard of about 10.6 g.
Although the first coins were purely Hindu in design, the later
issues of tankas were copied from Muslim prototypes, and
although Hindu elements were included in the design, the bulk of
the field was taken up by debased Arabic legends. This may have
been to make the coins acceptable amongst a population used
to a currency of Muslim tankas.
While some of the tankas were struck in the names of spe-
cific kings, most were anonymous, and it is not known which of
the kingdoms of the Nepal Valley was responsible for their issue.
However, with Kathmandu dominant at this period, (Shiva Simha NUMERICS
being king of both Kathmandu and Patan between at least 1609
Shri 3 Bhavani
and 1620AD) it may be assumed that most of them were struck
Half (around outer circle)
in Kathmandu.
During the early 17th century many of the tankas struck were
in very debased silver. This may have been due to the fact that
Ram Shah of Gorkha cut the Valley off from the Tibetan trade dur- One

The minor denominations of this period present a problem,
as surviving specimens do not readily indicate what fraction they Jagajjotir Malla
represent of the tanka. There are many small pieces with weights Ten NS733-757 / 1613-1637AD
ranging from about 0.04 g to 0.14 g but varying very little, if at all,

being easily the smallest coin in the world. Gold coins were struck
on only one or two occasions during the Madras period, from the
same dies as the silver coins, but these were probably only used
for ceremonial purposes. Gold after 1777AD was struck in Ashrapi
greater quantity.
Initially the coinage was of fine silver, in contrast to the tanka
coins, which were frequently debased. During the early 18th cen- Asarfi

9th centuries, the Netherlands came under control of Burgundy
and the Austrian Hapsburgs, and finally was subjected to
Spanish dominion in the 16th century. Led by William of Orange,
the Dutch revolted against Spain in 1568. The seven northern
provinces formed the Union of Utrecht and declared their
independence in 1581, becoming the Republic of the United
Netherlands. In the following century, the Golden Age of Dutch
history, the Netherlands became a great sea and colonial

DATING
Nepal Samvat Era (NS)
All coins of the Malla kings of Nepal are dated in the Nepal
Samvat era (NS). Year 1 NS began in 881, so to arrive at the AD Vishnu Malla, Mahamahesvari
date add 880 to the NS date. This era was exclusive to Nepal, NS849-865/1729-1745AD
except for one gold coin of Prana Narayan of Cooch Behar.
Saka Era (SE)
Up until 1888AD all coins of the Gorkha Dynasty were Lalita Tripura Sundari
dated in the Saka era (SE). To convert from Saka to AD take Rajya Prakash Malla,
Saka date and add 78 to arrive at the AD date. Coins dated with NS865-878/1745-1758AD
this era have SE before the date in the following listing.
Girvan Yuddha Vikrama
Vikrama Samvat Era (VS)
From 1888AD most copper coins were dated in the Vikram Queens of Girvan Yuddha Vikrama
Samvat (VS) era. To convert take VS date - 57 =AD date. Coins
Visvajit Malla,
with this era have VS before the year in the listing. With the
NS878-880/1758-1760AD
exception of a few gold coins struck in 1890 & 1892, silver and
gold coins only changed to the VS era in 1911AD, but now this Siddhi Lakshmi

In about 1640 the weight standard of the Nepalese
coinage was completely changed, and it is probable that all the
Bhaskara Malla, old tanka coins were withdrawn from circulation.
NS821-835/1701-1715AD The new standard coin was the Mohar, weighing about5.4

KINGS OF BHATGAON The coinage was almost entirely of silver, with the tiny
Jawa being easily the smallest coin in the world. Gold coins
Jaya Prakash Malla, were struck on only one or two occasions during the Madra
NS855-866,870-888/1735-1746,1750-1768AD period, from the same dies as the silver coins, but these were
probably only used for ceremonial purposes. Gold after 1777AD
Bhupatindra Malla, was struck in greater quantity.
NS816-842/1696-1722AD Initially the coinage was of fine silver, in contrast to the
tanka coins, which were frequently debased. During the early
Jyoti Prakash Malla, 18th century, however, the coins became debased, but the
NS866-870/1746-c.1750AD fineness was improved after 1753AD. The coinage was again
debased in the first half of the 19th century.
KINGS OF PATAN
Many of the mohars circulated in Tibet as well as in Nepal,

CUT COINAGE
The silver Mohar, KM#472.2, was struck in large quantities
and sent to Tibet, where it was often cut for use as small change.
The full coin circulated at the value of 1.5 Sho, and it was cut into
fractions of 2/3, 1/2, and 1/3, curculating at 1 Sho, 0.75 Sho, and
0.5 Sho. Two methods of cutting were used, the earliest method
merely used a straight line cut, whereas during the early 19th
century it became normal to cut much of the center out of the
fractions. The denomination was determined by the number of
KM# 454.3 MOHAR KM# 470.1 1/4 MOHAR
petals visible and how it is cut with letters in the petals. These
