| Obverse description | Central field features a snow lion in profile facing left, rendered in low relief and surrounded by elaborate scroll ornaments. The lion and scrollwork are enclosed within the petals of an eight-petalled lotus flower, which itself is encircled by a legend in Tibetan script. The overall design is framed by a beaded border, lending the composition a formal, mandala-like symmetry characteristic of Tibetan coinage of the period. |
