| Lot description: (x) Nepal, Kingdom of Kathmandu, Jaya Bhaskara Malla (1701-1715), Mohar, NS 821 (1701), trident in central circle, eight petals around, rev. trident with garland, eight petals around, 5.31g (RGV 289), flan lightly waved, otherwise very fine; Mohar, NS 821 (1701), trident in central circle, three dots below, eight petals around, rev. trident with garland, eight petals around, 5.49g (RGV 293; Rhodes, Nepal 338), very fine; Suki, NS 818 (c. 1698), Sri 2 | Jaya | Bhaska | ra in four lines, trident, rev. Malla | Deva | 818 in three lines, conch, 1.38g (Rhodes, Nepal 340, RGV 300, KM 215), evidence of previous mounting, yet with a pleasing tone, very fine (3). The Klaus Bronny Collection of Bhutanese and Nepalese Coins As this coin is dated three years before Jaya Bhaskara ascended the throne, Rhodes et al (1987) assume that NS 818 (AD 1698) was the year when Bhaskara was installed as heir apparent to the throne.

| Lot description: (x) Nepal, Kingdom of Kathmandu, Jaya Mahipatendra Malla (c. 1669), Mohar, undated [circa 1669], Sri 2 Jaya Mahipa, trident in lozenge, rev. tendra | Malla | Deva, sword with wreath, 5.40g (Rhodes, Nepal 300, RGV 266; KM 177), cleaned to the reverse, yet the obverse toned and centrally struck, a very fine example of the Malla period's only undated Mohur, thus very rare. The Klaus Bronny Collection of Bhutanese and Nepalese Coins This is the only undated Mohar of the Malla period. Rhodes et al. suggest 1669 as the most likely date of issue. In that year the brother of Mahipatendra had died after being the nominal king for only a short period. Jaya Pratap Malla, who had gone on a pilgrimage to India, may have allowed this coin to be struck in honour of his son. This is one of the most attractive Malla mohars; the obverse design was copied in Tibet to produce one variety of the rare Shri Mangalamtangka, which is probably the first silver coin to be struck in Tibet. Estimate: £200 - £300 |  |
