1 Pice - Jigme small type

Bhutan's coinage in the early twentieth century was struck under extremely limited infrastructure, with most issues produced by hand or primitive mechanical means at the Daga mint. The "small type" designation distinguishes this from the larger 1931 pice, a distinction that arose from inconsistent die preparation rather than any deliberate policy change — the variation was catalogued only later by Western numismatists working from surviving specimens.

Jigme Wangchuck, the second Druk Gyalpo, ruled Bhutan in near-complete isolation from international affairs throughout his reign.
