| Obverse description | Central stylized flower motif enclosed within a single inner circle, itself set at the heart of an eight-petalled lotus. Tibetan script legend occupies the spaces between the lotus petals, encircling the central device. The overall composition is characteristic of the hand-struck Tibetan tangka tradition, with the floral device rendered in a conventionalized, symmetrical manner typical of Ganden Phodrang coinage. |

| Obverse lettering | དགའ་ལྡན་ཕོ་བྲང་ ཕྱོ་ ལས་རྣམ་ རྣམ་རྒྱལ། (Translation: dga` ldan pho brang phyo(gs) las rnam rgyal The Ganden palace, victorious in all directions) |
| Reverse description | Central quatrefoil device contained within a square frame, the whole surrounded by a border of dots. Four lozenge-shaped hexagonal cartouches, arranged symmetrically around the square, each bear a syllable of the auspicious Tibetan inscription 'Sri Mangalam' (Good luck). The composition follows the conventional layout of the Sri Mangalam tangka series, with the geometric interplay of the quatrefoil and square frame forming the dominant design element. |
