TIBET: Xuan Tong, 1909-1911, AR 2 sho (6.15g), ND (1910), Y-6 var, YZM-433-437, L&M-652, lotus design at center, with Chinese inscription xuan tong bao zang (Tibetan money of the Xuan Tong era) // dragon at center, surrounded by a string of pearls and Tibetan inscription: shon thong bod kyi rin khor khu phon zho do (Xuan Tong, precious coin of two sho, [struck] to the kuping standard), PCGS graded F12, R, ex George Anderson Collection. The Tibetan legend "rin khor"" is most probably a phonetic spelling of "rin sgor" which means "precious coin". Kuping (transcribed as khu phon in Tibetan) "treasury standard" or "treasury scale" refers to the Kuping silver tael, the standard weight of which was fixed at 37.3121g in the late Qing Dynasty for payment of government taxes.
