THE UNUSUAL TIBET SILVER RUPEE
Tibet silver RupeeThis coin has a confused origin. It was minted in both Tibet and China and pictures either Queen Victoria or the Emperor of China. The Indian Rupee picturing Queen Victoria was widely used in Tibet and Szechuan Province of China at the turn of the century. In an effort to reduce dependence on the “foreign” Rupee (and make some extra money) the Tibet Rupee was issued. The silver coin is the same size as the Indian Rupee, though it contains less silver. The “Queen” is wearing the same floral dress as on the Rupee, however she was given a Chinese hat in place of her crown, so she could pass as the Emperor of China. The English legends on the reverse were replaced with Chinese legends, though the floral designs were kept. The coin was not dated. It must have received wide acceptance as it was issued from 1902 until 1942 from a variety of mints in Tibet and Szechuan.
