Tibetian coin

2 сообщений
I think I have a coin from Tibet.  This one: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces15217.html

I am not sure what variety though.  I was thinking the emblems rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise in relation to central design though.

Any one have knowledge of these coins?



Yes this is 1 Tangka coin from Tibet.

The Obverse shows a single wavy water line between petals and the Reverse has 3 dots between petals, hence it is of Type E.
Don't know if its Y#E13.1or Y#E13.2 as my edition of Krause catalog does not have pictures for them.
But if you refer the article "The Gaden Tangka of Tibet" by N. G. Rhodes (which is available at http://www.onsnumis.org/articles to download), it seems to be Type E(iv)

You can also refer to examples of various types here on zeno.ru
