Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1½ Srang 10-20 coin from Tibet (China) made of Silver is that it features a unique blend of Tibetan and Chinese design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of the 13th Dalai Lama, while the reverse side features the Tibetan mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum" surrounded by a wreath of silver rupees. This blend of Tibetan spirituality and Chinese currency reflects the complex political and cultural relationship between Tibet and China during the time period in which the coin was minted.
