CHINA. Tibet. 20 Srang, BE 15-52 (1918). Gser Khang Mint. PCGS MS-63.
L&M-1064; Fr-1; K-1587; KM-Y-22; WS-0184; YZM-1. Variety with dot in the center of the reverse. One of the most popular issues of Tibetan coinage, this 20 Srang does not fail in its quest to wow everyone who views it. Vibrant and warm golden luster bounds off the planchet into the eyes, with a sparkle and twirl that is seldom broken. The only mark against this piece is a slightly weak strike that appears on the reverse. Even so, fault is hard to raise, and this is evidenced by this piece's place atop the PCGS census, tied with only one other at the Choice level.
From the Hardie Collection.
Estimate: $15000 - $25000
