This specimen was lot 22823 in Heritage sale 3021 (New York, January 2013), where it sold for $4,993.75. The catalog description[1] noted, "Theocracy gold 20 Srang BE1552 (1918), MS63 NGC, nicely toned with full mint brilliance, a very nice example of this highly popular type." Tibet, now a (reluctant) part of China, had secured a de facto independence from China as the Manchu Empire decayed in the late nineteenth century. Tibetan currency was a mixture of Chinese, Nepalese and India units complicated by frequent debasements. One srang = 6-2/3 tangka = 10 sho. This type is listed for 1918-21.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: gold.
Catalog reference: KM-Y22.
