Tibet 1 Tangka exact type identification [решено]

8 сообщений
I've had this Tibet 1 Tangka for over a year, but when I first got it I couldn't be bothered to either spend the time and effort needed to identify it, or make a thread here. But now I'm going over my Numista collection and decided that "Exact variant unknown" just won't do.

Help me out, please!

They are very difficult to identify...

The way I have identified mine in the past is to use the Numista descriptions... then find the exact KM number of that coin and compare it to the one I am identifying...

In my experience... It is VERY tedious to identify Tangkas...

Yours looks like an earlier variant of the Tangka (not the ones from the 1900s) but I could be mistaken...

Here are the Numista links to the 1800s Tangkas and the 1900s Tangkas (Just In Case):

1840-1899:
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces15217.html
1899-1930:
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces18922.html

If its 1840-1899 then it is absolutely Type C:
"Type C: The Obverse shows 3 dots in the outer angles and a single wavy water line below the lotus flower with a changed order of luck symbols. The design of the lotus flower has changed and shows 3 small leaves to the left and right with a wavy water line in the outer angles." I don't know the exact year.

But if it is 1899-1930 then I do not know because none of them seem to have a different order of luck symbols :)

Hope this is helpful,

This one maybe?:

"Y#B13.6 (Emblems rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise in relation to central design)...(1892)"

:)

That is a lot of pages... but for future reference I'll be filing the last page at least:
Цитата: "ShadowyEnigma"​This one maybe?:

​"Y#B13.6 (Emblems rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise in relation to central design)...(1892)"

​Thanks @ShadowyEnigma, you've been very helpful! :`

I remember the 2x2 this coin came in had "1659 Tibet (1913)" written on it. I'm not sure what that means, but I'm pretty sure it's incorrect; I've bought Ottoman coins from this dealer with wrong date attributions as well.

I'm awaiting any further opinions, but I think you've hit the nail on the head.
This is Type C coin.
The main difference between Type B and Type C is
1] Type B have double water line below lotus whereas Type C have single water line below lotus
Also style of lotus flower changes with 3 small leaves to the left and right of lotus in Type C

2] Type B have 3 crescent in the center of reverse whereas Type C have 2 crescent in the center of reverse


Since no spokes extend to the octagon on reverse it can be attributed to Rhodes# Type C(ii)
Rhodes gives the year range for this type as 1895-1896
In KM its cataloged as Y#C13.2
