Provenance

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

Although these coins are given a rather low catalogue value in KM, it is very difficult to procure a complete set. The majority of the coins from the Rhodes collection are uncirculated and are not easy to find in this condition.
