| Reverse description | Central device consists of a prominent double-thunderbolt (vishvavajra) or stylized lotus symbol in high relief at the heart of the coin, rendered with bold, flowing strokes. Surrounding the central medallion are six circular cartouches arranged symmetrically, each enclosing a distinct auspicious Tibetan symbol: including floral rosettes, a trefoil, a conch-like device, and a grid or lattice motif. Small pellets are scattered between the cartouches, providing decorative infill. The entire composition is framed by a continuous border of raised beads. The overall design reflects the traditional Tibetan iconographic vocabulary associated with the Eight Auspicious Symbols (Ashtamangala). |
