| Obverse description | Central field features four Chinese ideograms arranged in a cruciform reading pattern — top to bottom, right to left — forming the legend 嘉慶寶藏 (Jiaqing Bao Cang, meaning 'Jiaqing precious [coin of] Tibet'). Stylized cloud motifs occupy the four corners of the field, while floral decorative elements appear above and below the central inscription. Additional Chinese characters at the left and right margins denote the regnal year (年六, Year Six). The overall composition follows the traditional Chinese cash-coin aesthetic adapted to Tibetan silver coinage. |
