| Obverse description | Central field features a snow lion in profile facing left, rendered in relief against a plain ground and enclosed within an eight-petalled lotus border. Scroll ornaments flank the lion device, lending a decorative, mandala-like quality to the composition. Surrounding the lotus is a circular band of Tibetan script legend reading the Ganden Palace victory inscription. The outermost border consists of a continuous ring of raised beads, framing the entire design. |
