Summary

[edit]
Description
English: PRATAP SIMHA MOHAR & SEGMENTS :     Nepali Mohur of Pratap Simha, Gorkha ruler of Nepal 1775-77, variety struck for Tibet. Nepal supplied Tibet with 1.5 million Mohur coins bearing legends of Pratap Simha but the reverse syllables of Sri Sri Gorkhanatha are in separated fleurettes rather than adjacent pointed arches as with his homeland type, and the fineness was .667. Cut segments are more common than uncut Mohars. KM listings are under Nepal.    Informational Photos: 5 SKAR VARIETIES    7½ SKAR VARIETIES    10 SKAR VARIETIES

RANJANA MOHAR, SEGMENT For a discussion of the Ranjana Tangka, see below. It was cut between petals to make fractional units (cho-tang), just as were the Jaya Prakash (C40-42) and Pratap Simha (C43-45), but unlike these, almost never with additional clippings at edge or center. Bertsch suggests this was because the coin was used as much as a charm as a coin, hence further mutilation would be sacrilege, or due to enforcement of a decree against clipping. Although cut Ranjanas are generally scarce, the Damkoehler collection included 61 pieces (plus 4 from other sources) as follows: 3 Petals: 15/40a 6, 15/40b 5, 15/40c 3, 15/40d 2, 15/40e 2, 15/46 1, 16/69 1, 16/92d 1, 16/x 1, NDv 21, NDv shaved 3; 4 Petals: 15/40b 1, 15/40c 1, 15/40e 1, NDv 7; 5 Petals: 15/40b 3, 15/40c 1, 15/40e 1, 16/69 1, NDv 4;    Informational Photo: VARIETIES.
