| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a snow lion in profile facing left, rendered in relief with stylized fur detail. Tibetan script legends appear above and below the lion in the inner field. Surrounding the central design, a decorative border incorporates the Buddhist Eight Auspicious Symbols (Ashtamangala): the white parasol, conch shell, treasure vase, victory banner, dharma wheel, pair of golden fish, endless knot, and lotus flower, arranged in a continuous circular band. The entire design is enclosed by a beaded outer border. The overall artistic style is consistent with traditional Tibetan ecclesiastical iconography adapted for coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a bold central cartouche containing the denomination inscription in Tibetan script, reading 'tam srang 20,' with the numeral 20 prominently displayed beneath the Tibetan characters in the inner field. This central cartouche is enclosed within a circular band of continuous Tibetan script legend referencing the Ganden Palace. The legends are arranged in a flowing circular fashion around the central device, filling the field to the beaded outer border. The design is entirely typographic in character, with no pictorial elements, relying on the calligraphic quality of the Tibetan script for its visual impact. A beaded rim borders the entire reverse. |
