Tibet: Sho-gang, BE 15-58 (1924 AD), Mekyl mint, Y#21.1

Mass=5.3 g

Obverse Lion standing, looking backwards, enclosed in a 11-mm diameter circle surrounded by eight connecting fleurets containing Tibetan legend dga'-ldan-pho-bran-phyogs-las-rnam-rgyal (The Ga-den Palace, victorious in all directions). (Note: The Ga-Den Palace was the former residence of the Dalai Lamas, located in Drepung Monastery near Lhasa.) A bead is placed at the top of each of the lines joining the fleurets.



Reverse Sho-gang in center; Around: Rab-byang-15-lo-58 (Cycle 15-Year 58); Beaded border; five arabesques located at NE, SE, SW, and NW. The cycle and the year can be uses to obtain the AD date using the following formula: Number of cycles - 1 * 60 + Number of Years + 1026. Therefore, this coin would be dated 15 - 1 * 60 + 58 + 1026 = 1924 AD.
