Provenance

The Nicholas Rhodes Collection of Nepalese Coins and Medals: Part One

Bhupendra Narayan Shrestha, by private treaty, August 1989

Nicholas Rhodes suggests that the date 1695 must have been engraved in error, as it is very unlikely that Prithvi Narayan would have allowed his son to strike coins in his own name during the former’s lifetime (RGV. p. 133).
