| Obverse description | Central field depicts a snow lion passant to the right, rendered in traditional Tibetan artistic style, set against a backdrop of two stylized mountains rising to a central peak. Flanking the mountain summits are two radiant suns, each depicted with emanating rays. The composition is framed by swirling clouds, waves, and flame motifs, with a partial beaded border encircling the lower portion of the design. A yin-yang symbol (Tibetan: yungdrung) appears beneath the lion in the lower field. |
