An Enticing Example of Tibet's First Machine-Made SrangTibet. Theocracy Srang BE 15-43 (1909) AU58 NGC, Dode mint, KM-Y12, L&M-656, Kann-1440. Plain edge. An incredibly popular one-year emission produced shortly after the opening of the Dode mint, standing as the first large-size, machine-made silver issue of Tibet to feature the iconic snow lion motif, and the first Srang of the 13th Dalai Lama. The selection is a notably wholesome example with divine antique silver patination.
