Tibet Attribution Help?

I am continuing to organize and attribute some random acquisitions over the years, which sometimes pose a real attribution challenge. The pictured Tibetan coin is one such coin.

Best I can tell it’s a Tangka [1 1/2 Sho] from the early 1900s. It’s 27mm and 4.4g by my crude measurements. Curious if anyone better versed in these can shed more light on date, variety, Krause number etc.? As always this group’s help is greatly appreciated!

    I think this is very close to type F by Rhodes. In this case, the Krause catalog is not suitable for classifying such coins.

    Very helpful indeed. The information in Krause is indeed of limited use -- zeno.ru to the rescue again. Thank you for pointing me to a resolution (or as close as one gets on these) on this, much appreciated.
