Obverse description Central field dominated by an elaborate interlaced endless knot (dpal be'u), a traditional Bhutanese auspicious symbol, rendered in raised relief with bold, flowing lines. The design is divided by a cross-ruled grid pattern into quadrants, with the knot occupying the left portion of the field. The coin's irregular flan and hammered fabric are characteristic of Bhutanese copper coinage of the Deb period.
