Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Chhertum (Trial) 1979 from Bhutan made of Brass is that it features a unique design that was never officially adopted as a circulating coin. The coin was minted as a trial piece, and only a limited number were produced, making it a rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
