| Reverse description | Central field contains a circular inner medallion with Tibetan script denoting the denomination (one Sho), enclosed within a raised ring. The surrounding annular band carries a horizontal Tibetan legend giving the cycle and year date, separated by dot ornaments on certain varieties. An outer border of raised beads or dotted pellets runs along the rim. The arrangement of dots between the arabesques and the orientation of cycle and year numerals distinguish the several sub-varieties. The composition is concentric and symmetrical, characteristic of Tibetan milled coinage of the early twentieth century. |
