| Additional information |
The Tibetan 10 Srang was originally struck in silver for circulation, but gold restrikes were produced — almost certainly not by official government order — raising persistent questions about their authorization and intended audience. The Tibetan mint at Dode operated with limited technical consistency, and gold strikings of this denomination exist in small numbers with enough variation to suggest opportunistic rather than systematic production.
The .500 fineness is notably low for a gold issue, pointing toward local alloy constraints rather than any standardized monetary policy.
