Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Srang coin from Tibet (China) is that it features a unique design that reflects the country's cultural and religious heritage. The obverse side of the coin depicts two suns, which symbolize the two main Buddhist deities, the sun and the moon. The reverse side features a stylized representation of a Tibetan mantra, which is a sacred text used in Buddhist rituals. The use of these symbols highlights the importance of Buddhism in Tibetan culture and underscores the country's rich spiritual heritage.
