Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique design that showcases the portrait of King Jigme Singye Wangchuck in the center, surrounded by an intricate pattern of the Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The coin's design is a nod to Bhutan's strong cultural and historical ties with Cambodia, and it is a rare example of a coin that celebrates the rich cultural heritage of two nations.
