𝗕𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗙 𝗗𝗘𝗦𝗖𝗥𝗜𝗣𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡: he Jawa is a tiny silver coin from Nepal’s Malla period and is considered one of the smallest coins in the world. It was first issued during the reign of King Jaya Prakash Malla. Measuring just 2 mm by 2 mm and weighing only 0.004 gram, the coin was so small that even smaller pieces were made by cutting it into fractions. The Jawa gives us a glimpse into Nepal’s history, trade, economy and way of life. It remains a unique symbol of Nepal’s rich heritage and identity. The postage stamp honours this remarkable coin and highlights its importance in Nepal’s history and cultural heritage.
