| Reverse description | An elaborate eight-petalled lotus blossom rendered in high relief occupies the full field, with each petal containing one of the Buddhist Eight Auspicious Symbols (Ashtamangala): a white parasol, a conch shell, a treasure vase, a victory banner, a dharma wheel, a pair of golden fish, an endless knot, and a lotus flower. The central hub of the lotus displays an ornate floral or jewel motif. The design is contained within a single inner circle, itself surrounded by the petal arrangement, and the whole composition is framed by the coin's plain edge, exemplifying the refined decorative aesthetic of Tibetan Kong-par coinage. |
