Nepalese 16-ganda paisa rupee
CUR-V24-NPL-PAISA16 · Research draft
A documented account-unit or currency-system transition supports this predecessor identity; not admitted from a specimen or inherited label alone.
One scoped currency identity. Changes to subdivisions, scale, standard, instruments or issuers do not by themselves create children. A distinct account unit can remain a successor.
Dated observations: 1855–1908; this does not establish the entire lifetime.
Parents / predecessors
No distinct predecessor currency is established in the loaded view.

Inference C1205
The 16-ganda paisa rupee was absorbed into standardized mohar-rupee accounting during the reforms reported in 1908. This is a qualified later consolidation of concurrent account units, not the founding of the Nepalese rupee; exact decree and balance-conversion rules remain unlocated.
Corrected interpretation: Revision 27 supplies a new evidence basis for R-V24-001. Bounded reporting envelope, not an exact decree date. Replacement evidence: C1612.
