Types are distinguished by the mountains, sun & moon, and date varieties by number of tail and leg hairs, side clouds, and yinyang. Omitted dots and overdates distinguish reverse varieties. JL shows a number of improbable pieces which could be mules, or photo errors. The 16/27 is the only Tibetan coin of this date, and the last coin of independent Tibet. A fantasy of the three-mountain type of 16/21 was struck in copper, silver, and gold by the Vaalcambi Mint in 1978.
