Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 3 Srang 9-20 (1935-1946) from Tibet (China) made of Silver weighing 12.50g is that it features a unique blend of Tibetan and Chinese design elements. The coin's obverse features a portrait of the 13th Dalai Lama, while the reverse features a traditional Tibetan motif of a pair of snow lions flanking a dharma wheel, surrounded by a wreath of lotus flowers. This blend of cultural influences reflects the complex history and political relationship between Tibet and China during the time period in which the coin was minted.
