金幣的正面有一隻面向左的雪獅，上方寫有“rab byung 15”（“第15周期”），下方則寫有“lo 53”（“第53年”）。中央圖案被包圍在一個更大的圓形框內，框內有八個佛教吉祥物，以特定的順序精心排列，從12點鐘位置開始按順時針方向排列：傘、一對金魚、寶藏瓶、蓮花、海螺、無盡結、勝利的旗幟和法輪。

金幣背面的中心圓圈中並無圓點，呈現出具八個輻射的風格化車輪。

這個中央車輪被另一個圓圈包圍，外圍刻有銘文，從12點鐘位置開始，順時針讀取：「dga’ ldan pho brang phyo(gs) las rnam rgyal/ tam srang 20」（「嘎丹宮，在各個方向都取得勝利/ 20 Tam Srang」）。
