Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Jigme Singye 1979 Bhutanese platinum coin is that it features a unique design that showcases the country's rich cultural heritage. The coin's obverse side depicts the portrait of King Jigme Singye, while the reverse side features an image of the Tashichho Dzong, a prominent Buddhist monastery and fortress in Bhutan. This design not only highlights the country's cultural and religious significance but also serves as a symbol of the monarch's commitment to preserving Bhutan's traditions and heritage.
