Tibet - 1 Tangka - year ??? [solved]

6 posts
Numista companions and users, good morning!

I purchased this piece as being from the year 1850. However, this year it does not exist in the register of it.

Can a friend accurately identify the year of this play?

Thank you!

The Gaden Tangka do not have date on them.
They are attributed to a period based on the type. Your coin is Rhodes# Type B(iv) struck between 1880-1894 at Dod-pal mint.

For details on Tangka coins you can refer the article "The Gaden Tangka of Tibet" by N. G. Rhodes (which is available at http://www.onsnumis.org/articles to download)

As the coin has no date numbers on it, you should accept that it is minted between 1840 and 1899.
Perhaps some details can narrow down the period
Please check these details:
Y#A13.2 (Lotus stems joined, fish (NE) swim clockwise and counterclockwise, inner circle may be 10-12mm)

Hello!
The inner circle has a diameter of 11 mm.
What is considered "fish", will the "tadpoles" swim down into the inner circle?

There is also the image of the coin holder in which the coin was wrapped when the purchase contained some information. Note that these minutes must be wrong since they do not exist in the Numista register.
