China Tibet 5 sho X#1 Valcambi Mint 1947 Restrike Dragon PR68 PCGS Cu coin 1978

The China Tibet 5 Sho coin dated 1947, presented here as a high-quality 1978 Valcambi Mint restrike, is a striking example of Tibetan numismatic artistry revived for collectors. Issued as part of a modern restrike program, this coin preserves the historic design while offering exceptional prooflike surfaces. Certified by PCGS as PR68 DCAM, it displays deep mirrored fields and sharp frosted relief, making it an eye-catching piece within Tibetan copper coinage.

The obverse features a dynamic Tibetan dragon, a powerful symbol of protection, authority, and spiritual energy. The dragon is shown in an animated pose with a sinuous body, raised claws, and flowing mane, surrounded by stylized clouds and mountain forms. Above the dragon appear small star-like rosettes, while wave patterns below suggest water or clouds at the base. A finely executed beaded border encircles the entire design, enhancing the depth and symmetry of the composition.

The reverse presents the denomination and date in Tibetan script arranged within segmented panels around a central circular field. The inscriptions are bold and evenly spaced, framed by smooth curves and geometric separators. The polished copper surfaces reveal warm tones and strong contrast between mirrored fields and frosted devices, emphasizing the precision of the Valcambi Mint strike.

This Tibet 5 Sho restrike is an excellent choice for collectors seeking proof-quality Tibetan issues, modern mint craftsmanship, and classic dragon symbolism in certified condition.
