Rare collectible Silver Coin from Tibet ( comes in white matte wooden frame.
Study of these fascinating coins from Tibet is for those who enjoy intricate patterns. These coins were minted in silver between the mid-1800s to the mid-1900s.
The theme of these coins artistically is the lotus pattern on both the front and back. The obverse (front) is a Lotus surrounded by the 8 Auspicious symbols of Buddhism. The political theme is that the Dalia Lama's government is victorious in all directions, and that Tibet is the center of the Buddhist world. This is a forceful statement because prior to Tibet minting its own coinage, Nepal minted coins in silver which was supplied to them by Tibet. Ultimately the Nepalese debased the silver coins to a point that led to war. The Ga-Den Thangka his is the longest running and most common series of coins minted in Tibet.
