Interesting fact
The 300 Ngultrums (Maurice Ravel) 1993 coin from Bhutan is a unique piece, as it features a rare combination of a non-circulating coin made of silver (.925) and weighing 31.32 g. Most coins are made of a base metal like copper or nickel and are not as heavy as 31.32 grams. The fact that it's a non-circulating coin means it was not meant to be used as regular currency, but rather as a collector's item or a special edition. This coin is a great example of how coins can be used as a form of art, with its unique design and use of precious metals.
