| Additional information |
Tibet's copper coinage of this period was produced under the Ganden Phodrang government using rudimentary equipment — hand-operated screw presses at the Dode mint — which accounts for the irregular striking and frequent planchet flaws endemic to the type. Production ran under the authority of the Tibetan government during a period of de facto independence following the 13th Dalai Lama's return from exile in 1913. The Dode mint was notoriously inconsistent, and no two examples from this run strike identically.
