| Beschrijving voorzijde | 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. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Pastoral vignette executed in traditional Tibetan woodblock-print style, centering on two holy men seated beneath a linden tree (Tilia), accompanied by a pair of cranes symbolising longevity and two deer reclining in the foreground as emblems of prosperity. An elderly sage stands in the background holding a ritual vase, alluding to the fertilisation of the Earth, set against a mountainous landscape. Two flying bats appear in the upper field, serving as auspicious symbols of felicity and good fortune within the Tibetan iconographic tradition. |

| Opmerkingen |
The Ganden Phodrang issued paper currency under conditions unlike virtually any other twentieth-century government — no central bank, no foreign printing contract, production handled entirely within Lhasa using traditional Tibetan block-printing methods on locally made paper. The 100 Srang notes of this period were printed by woodblock, which means no two impressions are identical in ink distribution or registration, and the paper itself varies noticeably in thickness and texture across the run.
The "Octagonal seal" designation distinguishes this issue from related 100 Srang types by the specific official stamp applied during authentication — the seal's shape was the differentiator, not a separate design series. Ink bleed around the seal impression is common and not considered a defect.
