Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Srang coin from Tibet (China) 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 a traditional Tibetan design of a wheel and a swastika, which are symbols of Buddhism and good luck in Tibetan culture. This blend of designs reflects the complex cultural and political history of Tibet during the time period in which the coin was minted.
