Silver Five Ounces 2022 Year of the Tiger, Coin from Bhutan - detailed information

The Kingdom of Bhutan has used the Ngultrum (དངུལ་ཀྲམ) as its currency since 1974. Apart from its regular circulating coinage, the Royal Monetary Authority of Bhutan has also authorised some foreign mints to issue coins under its jurisdiction, which come in a variety of sizes - including in the internationally popular silver five ounces (5 oz silver) very large format, denominated usually as 1,000 Ngultrum. These coins are considered Non-Circulating Legal Tender (NCLT) and not bullion, because they are released at prices significantly higher than the intrinsic (bullion) value of their precious metal content.

The mint says about this coin:
The Royal Monetary Authority of Bhutan proudly issues the Blessings of Happiness Lunar Coin Collection - The Bhutan Lunar and Attraction series (2016 - 2027) Home to a stunning natural scenery embellished with majestic architectures of Dzong, Stupas and Monasteries, each of the 12 coins in this series features specially selected attractions of Bhutan. The reverse side of each coin features an animal of the Chinese Zodiac Series, while the reverse side of the coloured coins in the series features one of twelve selected attractions located in the country of Bhutan - a different one every year.

The Bhutan Lunar Tiger coin, the seventh issue in this series, is issued in conjunction with the arrival of the 2022 Lunar Tiger Year.
