Ang-tuk Público Deposited
A silver piece struck in Nepal for currency in Tibet, by the Newar King Java Bhupatindra Malla Deva in the year 816 of the Newar Era, corresponding to A.D. 1696. The name Ang-tuk means " number six," and it is given to the coin on account of the last figure in the date. The Tibetans call it Pa-nying Tang-ka, or " old Nepalese " coinage. It is also known as the Dung-tang, i.e., " Spear Tang-ka," or Dung-tse, i.e., "Spear-point," from the trident emblem of the Newar kings, which is minted on the reverse. It is called a Mohar in Nepal. See Tang-ka, and Conf. Walsh, Coinage of Tibet , in Memoirs Asiatic Society of Bengal, 1907 (ii), and Wood, in American Journal of Numis- matics, 1912.
