Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Rupee coin from Tibet (China) made of Gold weighing 20.40g is that it was minted during the reign of Guangxu, who was the only emperor of the Qing dynasty to issue coins in his own name. This coin is a rare example of a coin issued by the Qing dynasty that was not minted in the traditional Manchu style, but rather in a more modern, Western-style design.
