Note:&nbsp;During the 1861st year of the Vikram Samvat, the leaf motif was replaced by a sprig or multiple leaves, which were mistakenly believed to be the tail of a peacock. It was incorrectly assumed that these coins were issued in the name of &quot;Moran&quot;, a courtesan, and were therefore incorrectly referred to as &quot;Morashahi&quot; coins. An article published in the JONS (Journal of Oriental Numismatic Society) established that the symbol on these coins is not related to Moran and is rather a sprig of a fruit known as Ber (Zizyphus Jujuba). The term &ldquo;Ber Shahi&rdquo; will now be used for coins with the sprig-like or multi-leaf symbol as a result of this new development. The Ber Shahi was presumed to have entered circulation in VS 1862, thus making a Ber Shahi from VS 1861 extremely rare.
