Tibetan Government, Anonymous (1953/54), Second Issue, Monk Tangka, 5.05g, undated, similar to coin of previous lot, but obv. variety: the two comma shaped devices which are placed into two small circles are in different position (aligned vertically rather than horizontally) (YZM 514-515; KM Y#31), very fine

The comma-shaped devices which more often occur as a group of three (like in the centre of the rev. of the Gaden Tangkas of H type), probably represent what is referred to as dga´ ´khyil ("whorl of joy") in Tibetan
