Obverse: with hands spreading out radially like the stunning plumage of the peacock, the magnificent Thousand-Hand Bodhisattva sits calmly in a meditating posture. An eye in each hand, while holding an array of sacred objects, the Bodhisattva exudes an impressive aura, reinforced by the intricate carving on the glistening silver coin. Reverse: the reverse features the «Endless Knot», one of the 8 auspicious elements in Buddhism. Possessing overlapping layers of knots with no beginning or end, the Palbheu represents the infinite wisdom of the Buddha, and the existence of everything as part of the web of karma and its effect in universe.
