| Obverse description | Central field depicts a stylized snow lion rampant facing right, rendered in traditional Tibetan artistic style, set against a background of rising waves at the base and swirling clouds. Above the lion rises a mountain peak, with a crescent moon to the upper left and a radiant sun to the upper right, symbolizing the celestial canopy over Tibet. The entire design is enclosed within a continuous inner border of raised beads running along the coin's circumference. |
