Cf. For a similar yet inferior example, see “The Nicholas Rhodes Collection of Nepalese Coins and Medals: Part Two”, Spink 08/10/2026, Auction 26088, Lot 456. The Spink example described with the footnote… “Rhodes' ticket annotated 'unrecorded. Not in BNS, CVR, BM etc Ext. R.']. This Ani probably belongs to the first reign of Jaya Prakash because the design is similar to that of the minor denominations of the earlier rulers. During his second reign, rather more original designs were chosen.”

With an old tone, a fabulous example of a rarely seen coin in any grade. This piece choice with much eye appeal and possibly the finest known example.
