Evidence coverage: 1806–1945. This is the span of collected observations, not the currency’s lifetime.

No distinct successor currency is established in the loaded view.
Evidence within this identity, not separate currencies.
Nepal’s rupee was already an account unit in an 1807 royal endowment. The nineteenth-century mohar rupee was reckoned as two silver mohars; 1945 paper currency exchanged at par with mohar-rupee coins. Earlier 1807 and 1945 observations firm; long-span continuity qualified. Do not add a 1932 mohar→rupee edge based on coin catalogue labels. Distinct paisa-rupee and Gorakhpuri-rupee accounts remain candidate branches.

Corrected interpretation: Revision 27 supplies a new evidence basis for R-V24-001. Bounded reporting envelope, not an exact decree date. Replacement evidence: C1612.
