| Obverse description | Central field features an eight-spoked dharma wheel, rendered in relief, enclosed within a circle of Tibetan script characters. The wheel and surrounding legend are further framed by the stylized petals of an eight-petalled lotus, whose petal borders define the coin's decorative boundary. The inscription, arranged in a circular legend around the central device, reads in Tibetan characters conveying the phrase 'The Ganden Palace, victorious in all directions.' The overall composition reflects traditional Tibetan Buddhist artistic conventions, with bold, hand-worked relief characteristic of hammered coinage. |
