Within a plain rim, the obverse of the coin features the national Emblem of Bhutan.
Within the circle of the national emblem, two crossed vajras (legendary weapons) are placed over a lotus. They are flanked on either side by a male and female dragon. A wish-fulfilling jewel is located above them. There are four other jewels inside the circle where the two vajras intersect. They symbolise the spiritual and secular traditions of the Kingdom based on the four spiritual undertakings of Vajrayana Buddhism. The lotus symbolises absence of defilements; the wish-fulfilling jewel, the sovereign power of the people; and the two dragons, the name of the Kingdom (known as The Thunder Dragon Kingdom).
Around above, the name of the country in English: KINGDOM OF BHUTAN. Around below, "Bhutan" in Tibetan script: འབྲུག་ཡུལ་. |
