bk8386 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 06/03/2021 4:55 pm Thank you. Unable to find the exact coin but Krause does have a picture of a similar coin - Nepal 1/8 mohar. Didn't think to look there. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34396 Posts	Posted 06/03/2021 6:16 pm @bk8, first welcome to CCF. Second, I agree that this seems to be a Nepalese 1/8 Mohar. I do note that the 1/16 Mohars weighed 0.5 g. What diameter is your piece? Of the several examples on numista and zeno.ru, none are a perfect match to yours.

bk8386 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 06/05/2021 06:13 am Thanks for the assistance. The coin appears to be a gold Nepal 1/8 mohar (Kingdom of Kathmandu). No date on coin but most likely 1750-1768AD. Could not find a picture of this specific coin but Krause has a picture of a silver 1/8 mohar that looks just like it (KM# 248). In the same section as the silver coin they list a gold 1/8 mohar (KM# 249) stating that it is similar to the the silver 1/8 mohar. I think this is the coin I have. Again, thanks for the replies to my post. Report this Post to the Staff
