Auction: 13020 - Tibetan Coins from the Nicholas Rhodes Collection
Lot: 546

Tibet, 100 Srang, red, yellow, green and blue, serial numbers sa/00151 and sa/08950, black seal 3B, ditto. These two notes of the "sa"-series document the following change of the reverse design: In the lower left corner of the green frame the flower has crosshatching in its centre on the note with serial number sa/00151. The cross-hatching has been replaced by the letter "a" in the ornamental Bhumijol-script on the note with the serial number sa/08950 and remains this way on all 100 Srang notes which were issued subsequently. All the 100 (Tam) Srang notes with serial prefixes from "ka" to "sha" feature the old design with cross-hatching, but only very few notes with low serial numbers of the "sa" series feature the old design, (Pick 11) very good, the first note rare (2).
