Nepalese gold coins include historical pieces like the tola and a double tola called duitola (“dui” is “two” in Nepalese). Gold coins in general have been called ashrapi and asharphi (with variant spellings in English). As with other parts of the south Asia region (India, for example), gold coins were used much less frequently than silver, often being created for ceremonial or other special purposes (sometimes from the same die used for a silver piece).
Gold tola coins from the Shah Dynasty can often be found for sale in the marketplace today, and Nepalese gold coin collectors can compete for these pieces with much enthusiasm.
Today, Nepal produces gold coins occasionally as commemorative pieces or for the collectors’ or investors’ markets.
