| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central swirled dharma wheel motif surrounded by a ring of decorative dots, the entire design enclosed within the petals of an eight-petalled lotus flower. Tibetan script legend is arranged within and around the lotus petals, framing the central device. The overall composition is rendered in a formal, symmetrical style consistent with traditional Tibetan religious iconography. The field between the wheel and the surrounding legend is finely detailed with dot ornamentation. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central lotus flower motif surrounded by the eight Buddhist 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, each symmetrically arranged within the petals of an eight-petalled lotus border. The symbols are rendered in fine relief in a traditional Tibetan religious artistic style. The overall design is highly formal and symmetrical, reflecting the sacred nature of the iconographic program. No legend or inscription appears on this side. |

The "Presentation Tangka" designation distinguishes this issue from standard circulation strikes of the same type — these were produced as formal gifts, likely distributed through monastic or governmental channels in the final years before the Dalai Lama fled to India in 1959. Tibet's traditional coin production at Dode and Trabshi mints had always been irregular, with quality varying dramatically between batches, but presentation pieces received noticeably more care in preparation and selection.
By 1953, Chinese administrative pressure on Lhasa was already acute following the 1950 invasion. This issue sits among the last coherent Tibetan silver strikings before the monetary system was absorbed entirely into the People's Republic.
