Nepalese mohur

The mohur was the currency of the Kingdom of Nepal from the second half of the 17th century until 1932. Silver and gold mohurs were issued, each subdivided into 128 dams. Copper dams were also issued, together with copper paisa worth 4 copper dams. The values of the copper, silver and gold coinages relative to one another were not fixed until 1903. In that year, the silver mohur became the standard currency, divided into 50 paisa. It was replaced in 1932 by the rupee, also called the mohru (Moru), at a rate of 2 mohurs = 1 rupee.
