The China Tibet 5 Sho coin dated 1947 is presented here as a superb 1978 Valcambi Mint restrike, struck to an exceptional proof standard for collectors of Tibetan numismatics. Produced decades after the original issue, this restrike faithfully preserves the historic design while showcasing modern minting precision. Certified by PCGS as PR69 DCAM, the coin displays near-perfect surfaces with deep mirrored fields and crisp frosted devices, offering outstanding visual contrast.

The obverse features a powerful Tibetan dragon, an emblem of authority, protection, and cosmic balance in Himalayan and Buddhist symbolism. The dragon is depicted in dynamic motion, with a sinuous body, defined claws, expressive head, and flowing mane. Stylized clouds surround the figure, while mountain peaks rise in the background, emphasizing Tibet’s sacred landscape. Below, wave-like patterns suggest water or clouds, and small star or rosette symbols appear above. A precise beaded border frames the composition, enhancing depth and symmetry.

The reverse presents the denomination and date in Tibetan script, arranged in segmented panels encircling a central inscription. Each panel is cleanly separated by curved dividers, creating a harmonious circular layout. The warm copper surfaces exhibit flawless proof quality, with sharp lettering and strong relief that highlight the Valcambi Mint’s craftsmanship.

This PR69 DCAM Tibet 5 Sho restrike is an excellent addition for collectors seeking top-grade proof issues, classic dragon imagery, and certified Tibetan fantasy and restrike coinage.
