Front: Human-like male and female lions (kind of nude) holding a plate with fruits. Dalai Lama's small red circular seal and Cha-Hsi Le-K'ung Mint black rectangular seal.

Back: Two holy men seated under a lime tree (Tilia, Linden, Basswood); two cranes, symbolizing longevity; two deers, symbolising prosperity, lie on the ground in front of the lames. The old holy man, with mountains in the background, is holding magic bottle, which symbolises fertilizing the Earth.

Two flying bats, symbolizing felicity and fortune, are printed at the top left and right. A small dot, used as a security mark, is printed in blue just under the bat at the
top right. Predominant colours: Orange, yellow and green. Material: Paper, produced by Chin-Tung Paper Factory near Lhasa, containing root of poisonous weed in order to prevent the spoiling by insects and rats.
First Issued: 1942. Not Legal Tender from: 1959.

The 100 srang notes are machine-printed and hand-numbered; they were regularly issued between 1939 and 1945 and again between 1951 and 1959 but bear no date. Numerous notes of this denomination have survived and they are relatively common on the numismatic market.

All the Tibetan srang-denominated banknotes were machine-printed on locally made paper at the government mint of Trabshi Lekhung using inks imported from India. All denominations are hand-numbered.
In 1959 these issues were withdrawn from circulation and replaced by Chinese banknotes denominated in Renminbi Yuan.
