Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Sho (Pattern) 1 (1927) from Tibet (China) made of Brass weighing 4.34g is that it features a unique blend of Tibetan and Chinese design elements. The coin's obverse features a portrait of the 13th Dalai Lama, while the reverse depicts a traditional Tibetan motif of a pair of snow lions flanking a dharma wheel. This blend of designs reflects the complex cultural and political relationship between Tibet and China during the early 20th century.
