Nepali Calendar

6 posts
Hi everyone.

Perhaps someone can help me with this issue I have

I have a couple of Nepali coins which the numbers seems to be always a year ahead of what is listed in numista.

For Example the Year 2003 in Numista in the Coin it looks like 20 E0 "E is as 3 but opposite" now I am ussing a Nepali Calendar website http://www.nepcal.com/date_conv.php which shows that the year 20 E0 is actually 2004... and this is happening with almost all the years in many websites.

Does numista catalog was issued with errors, or the nepalis use the year ahead???

I think it will be nice if a Nepali user (I remember one joined few months back and was looking for swaps) could include in the comments of the latest coins (1, 2, and 5 rupees) the number in Nepali for easier classification... Am I asking too much??

Anyone can help me out??

This coin in specific is listed as Year 2003 / 2060, but as many nepali calendar sources and my nepali friend, their calendar is just 56 years ahead of gregorian calendar.

2060 (Nepali) - 56 Years = 2004 (Gregorian)

Who could fix this problem, Some countries in Numista show who is the Referee, but I cannot see those details for Nepal.

Can be to you this link will help:

the difference between Nepali calendar and Gregorian one is following:
1st month of Nepali calendar is Baisakh which falls in the month of Apr/May. For eg, we are currently in 2072 B.S. which is 2015 & some months in 2016. Hence, the confusion, I guess.

First of all, their calendar is 57 years ahead of the gregorian calendar.
And as nabingiri already said,  1 january in the gregorian calendar corresponds to 14 april in Nepali calendar. Therefor your example VS2060 corresponds to AH2003 during 8,5 months and to AH2004 during 3,5 months, so its logical to convert it to the year with the longest right duration.
When you use http://www.nepcal.com/date_conv.php maybe you only looked at the year and not at the month. When one of the last 4 months is selected, the year will be 1 higher. When one of the first 9 months is selected, the year is as it is in Numista and in Krause.
Thank you for the replies and clarification... Could someone volunteer to add the nepali calendar date to the comment on the coins?

I could do a quick copy amd paste if at least i get the years 2000 to 2015 to start with... Then progresively 20 years back until is completely done... I have had done that for Japan a couple of weeks ago...because it was easier for me and had a lot of coins to catalog.
