Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1918 Tibetan 1 Sho coin is that it features a unique blend of Tibetan and Chinese elements. The coin's design includes the Tibetan mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum" written in the Tibetan script, surrounded by a wreath of Chinese characters that read "大清寳寳頂年" (Da Qing Bao Ding Nian), which means "Great Qing Treasure Tops the Year." This blend of cultures reflects the complex history of Tibet during this time period, as the country was under Chinese rule but still maintained its own unique traditions and beliefs.
