| Obverse description | Central vignette of a male and female snow lion rendered in anthropomorphic form, each holding a plate of fruits, positioned at the centre of the note and flanked by columns of Tibetan script stating the denomination and the authority of the Ganden Phodrang government. The note is authenticated by the Dalai Lama's small red circular seal and the black rectangular seal of the Cha-Hsi Le-K'ung Mint, both applied by hand. The composition is executed in a traditional Tibetan woodblock-print style with unornamented borders. |
