1912-3年西藏拾章噶，正面无黑印章，AU，极少见

1912-3年西藏拾章噶，正面无黑印章，AU，极少见. 尼古拉斯‧罗德斯收藏集 - 西藏及尼泊尔钱币纸钞. Tibet, 10 Tam, dated T.E. 1658 (= AD 1912/1913), red, serial number 3369, without black seal. Obverse: Within the central cartouche, a crouching snow lion, facing left and looking backwards; he is playing with a ball which in Tibetan is referred to as yid bzhin nor bu dga´ khyil ("wish granting jewel, whorl of happiness"). The black seal to the right is missing but probably of type 1B. Reverse: A large central rectangle is filled with flowers and scroll work at the four corners. In the centre a vase is surrounded by leaves and flowers. The vase is composed of the eight auspicious Buddhist emblems (bkra shis rtags brgyad); the lotus flower below carries the knot of life which in turn supports the wheel of the doctrine with the two golden fishes on either side. Placed above are the banner of victory and the parasol with the white conch on top. The eighths emblem is the vase which is made up of the seven emblems just enumerated. This way of arranging the eight auspicious emblems is called rtags brgyad bum gzhugs ("eight emblems in form of a vase") in Tibetan.(Pick 2, YZM 873), about uncirculated and very rare first date. A superb note
