I bought this coin and having hard time identifying year it was struck. The coin is from Tibet, 1 Tangka.

The Gaden Tangka coins do not have date on them.
Your coin is of Type E (iv) which is attributed to 1899-1907A.D. Dod-pal Mint

For more details refer the article "The Gaden Tangka of Tibet" by N. G. Rhodes (which is available at http://www.onsnumis.org/articles to download)

You can also refer to examples of various types here on zeno.ru

Interesting coin with a wonderful design. It should be in "Most Popular Coin Contest".
