Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 20 Srang 52-55 (1918-1921) from Tibet (China) made of Gold weighing 10.91g 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 motif of a pair of snow lions flanking a dharma wheel, surrounded by Chinese characters and the coin's denomination. This blend of designs reflects the complex political and cultural history of Tibet during the early 20th century, when it was under Chinese rule.
