Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 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 motif of a pair of snow lions flanking a dharma wheel. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history and political relationship between Tibet and China during the time period in which the coin was minted.
