| Obverse description | Central eight-spoked dharma wheel (dharmachakra) enclosed within an octagonal border, itself set at the centre of an eight-petalled lotus flower whose petals form the coin's principal decorative frame. Tibetan script legend occupies the spaces between the lotus petals, reading clockwise around the wheel device. The overall composition is rendered in low relief in the hand-hammered tradition characteristic of Tibetan coinage, with minor die variations distinguishing the numerous sub-types struck across the coin's long production span. |
