| Obverse description | Central field bears four large Chinese ideograms arranged in a cruciform reading pattern (top to bottom, right to left), forming the legend 乾隆寶藏 ('Qianlong Treasure'). Stylized cloud motifs occupy the four corner quadrants of the design, while a secondary inscription encircling the central group denotes the regnal year. The overall layout closely imitates the design conventions of Qing dynasty Tibetan coinage struck under the Qianlong Emperor. |
