The year begins in October, and 951 years had expired in 1831. The Newâr era is used upon the coins of the Newâri Rajas of Bhatgaon, Kâthmându, and Pâtan. Marsden has published coins of Jaya Prakâsa Malla II. of Kâthmându, dated in S. 819 and 823, or A.D. 1699 and 1703, which agree with the dates of 1606 and 1706 given in Prinsep’s List. This era was discarded in A.D. 1768 by the Gorkha conqueror Prithi Nârâyana Sâh, who introduced the use of the Sâka era, which is still placed on all the coins of Nepâl. - [Previous: c24.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.cunningham-1883.c24.1) - [Next: c25.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.cunningham-1883.c25.1) - [Up: c24](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.cunningham-1883.c24) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.cunningham-1883.c24.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.cunningham-1883.c24.2) · Pramāṇa
