| Reverse description | Central field bearing four `Phags-pa script characters arranged in a two-by-two block within a plain inner circle, identical in legend to the obverse and reading 'Sucakra Vijaya' (Noble Victorious Wheel). The surrounding field is filled with the same ornate dharma-wheel motif of radiating spokes and interlocking lotus petal segments, consistent with the obverse design. A continuous beaded border frames the entire composition at the rim. The hammered fabric of the flan produces slight irregularities in the coin's outline, characteristic of hand-struck Tibetan tangkas of this period. |
