1913年西藏贰拾伍章噶，正面无黑印章，UNC，此品相少见

1913年西藏贰拾伍章噶，正面无黑印章，UNC，此品相少见. 尼古拉斯‧罗德斯收藏集 - 西藏及尼泊尔钱币纸钞. Tibet, 25 Tam, dated T.E. 1659 (= AD 1913), yellow, serial number 370, black seal is missing. Obverse: In the central panel a snow lion is facing left, looking sideward and playing with a ball. In the background we appreciate a mountainous landscape with the sun on the left side. Reverse: The central panel shows two different scenes which are divided by a high mountain with the sun above. To the left we see a palace on the terrace of which a person of some importance is seated conversing with another person who is seated to his left. Behind the second person three more men are seated; the one in the front is raising his hands in adoration or respect. To the right and behind this scene a hermit is sitting in a cave. In the right part of the central panel an elephant is standing under a fruit tree carrying a monkey, a hare and a bird. This scene refers to a Buddhist legend which tells that four animals were trying to find out who could be considered as being the oldest. The elephant said that the tree was already fully grown when he was young, the monkey that the tree was small when he was young, the hare that he saw the tree as a sapling when he was young and the bird claimed that he had carried the seed from which the tree grew. So the bird was recognized by the other animals as the oldest, and the four animals lived together in harmony, helping each other in order to enjoy the trees fruits. The Tibetans refer to this scene as mthun pa rnam bzhi ("four harmonious brothers")(Pick 4var. YZM 875var.), uncirculated and very rare in this grade and without black seal imprint.
