Ngdawa Valued Member Sweden 347 Posts	Posted 01/25/2013 6:42 pm Hi! I recently won a smaller lot on an auction, and I've been able to identify all of them except for this one. I'm sure it is a Tibetan coin, but that's it. The digit "10" appears on the reverse left side, and to me it doesn't fit to the 1 Sho coins, which just has the digit "1" at the same spot? I might be al wrong, but the denomination and date is all a mystery to me, so if anyone could help me get on the right track I would appreciate it alot! Thanks!

Sap Moderator Australia 16874 Posts	Posted 01/25/2013 9:18 pm The date on this coin are the five characters around the outside of the right pic: "Cycle 16 Year 10", or AD 1936. The coin is a 1 sho (KM/Y 23). NGC database page. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.

Ngdawa Valued Member Sweden 347 Posts	Posted 01/26/2013 03:25 am Cheers Sap! This is my first Tibetan coin (and I never thought I'd ever get one), so I haven't learned how to read them yet. What type is it then? According to the Krause Catalog Y#23 there is 3 differnt types; A, B, and C. How do I know the differences? Report this Post to the Staff
Ngdawa Valued Member Sweden 347 Posts	Posted 01/26/2013 12:37 pm OK, I think I solved it. I think it's type C, since it's a cross in the symmetrical pattern inside the inner circle on reverse. Edited by Ngdawa 01/26/2013 12:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
