Provenance

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

Although the denomination is simply given as “asarphi”, we presume that this issue was minted to represent a Quarter-Asarphi. Apparently, the term “asarphi” was sometimes used to refer to a specific denomination and in other cases it takes the general meaning of “gold coin”.
