TIBET: AR rupee, Kanding, ND (1939-42), Y-3.3, Szechuan-Tibet trade issue, large portrait of the Chinese emperor Guang Xu with collar // Chinese inscription si chuan sheng zao ("made in Sichuan"), vertical rosette at center, "5"-shaped countermark on obverse, VF. Sichuan rupees are occasionally found with countermarks in Tibetan and/or Chinese script and marks consisting of Western numerals or the English word "one." The meaning of most of these marks remains uncertain, but we can presume that they were applied to the coins by local authorities, such as monasteries or dzong dpon (district officials) in order to enforce the circulation of the Sichuan rupees made of low grade silver in a specific area of Tibet.
