| Obverse description | Central device depicts a snow lion in profile facing left, rendered in relief against a plain field, framed by ornamental scrollwork. The lion is enclosed within the petals of an eight-petalled lotus flower, each petal bearing a Tibetan character of the surrounding legend. The overall composition is circular and symmetrical, with the Tibetan inscription forming a complete border within the lotus framework. |

| Reverse description | Central motif consists of a multi-ringed wheel-like device, with a dharma wheel at the centre surrounded by concentric circles of raised dots, evoking a stylised Buddhist dharmachakra. The dotted border rings radiate outward in a decorative geometric pattern filling the field. A Tibetan legend surrounds the entire central device, arranged in a circular band near the coin's rim, recording the cycle number, year, and denomination. |
