Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 50 Srang coin from Tibet (China) made of Copper is that it features a unique blend of Tibetan and Chinese design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts the Potala Palace, a prominent landmark in Lhasa, Tibet, while the reverse side features the Chinese dragon, a symbol of good fortune and prosperity in Chinese culture. This blending of design elements reflects the complex history and cultural exchange between Tibet and China during the time period in which the coin was minted.
