| Obverse description | Central field features a snow lion in left profile, rendered in traditional Tibetan artistic style with characteristic scroll and cloud ornaments surrounding the figure. The lion motif is enclosed within an eight-petalled lotus border, with each petal framing a portion of the surrounding Tibetan legend. The overall composition is symmetrical and decorative, reflecting the distinctive iconographic conventions of Tibetan coinage from the Ganden Phodrang administration. |
