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 coin's obverse side features a portrait of the 13th Dalai Lama, while the reverse side features a traditional Tibetan symbol, the "Wheel of Dharma," surrounded by Chinese characters. This blending of design elements reflects the complex cultural and political relationship between Tibet and China during the time period in which the coin was minted.
