CHINA. Tibet. Tangka, ND (1907-12). PCGS AU-55 Gold Shield. (t) KM-Y-F13.1; Rhodes-F(vi). 12mm circle. The normal variety of this type, struck during the early portion of the 20th century by means of a screw press. Overall, well-preserved for this commonly crude type, with pleasing surfaces that are delicately toned. An often misunderstood issue, there are three major varieties encountered for this Tangka issue (5-6 grams in weight). 1) Rhodes-F(vi): Struck using a screw press with a large circle (12mm) around the lotus flower. 2) Rhodes-F(vii): Likely struck using a screw press. The circle around the lotus flower is smaller and the style is slightly finer. Beads around the border range from 61 to 85. 3) Machine-Struck Rhodes-F(vi): A very rare variety of which around 7 specimens are known. There are 56 obverse beads and 57 reverse beads on this issue. cf. ANS # 1973.217.36; British Museum # 1989,0904.274. Estimate: $1,000 - $1,500.
