The monetary history of Tibet is fascinating and reflects the political and cultural changes in the region. From its de facto independence to its incorporation into China, Tibet has experienced various monetary systems that have left a unique imprint on its numismatics.
Independent Tibetan currency
During the period of Tibetan autonomy (1912-1951), Tibet issued its own currency. The srang and tam were the main denominations, with silver and copper coins featuring distinctive designs such as the snow lion and Buddhist symbols. In 1939, the first Tibetan banknote was introduced, marking an important milestone in the country's monetary history.
Transition and current monetary system

However, some Tibetan coins continued to circulate until the 1970s. Today, ancient Tibetan coins and banknotes are highly valued by collectors, representing a tangible testimony to Tibet's rich numismatic history.
