| Obverse description | Right-facing draped bust of Jigme Dorji Wangchuck, third Druk Gyalpo of Bhutan, occupying the central field, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair and traditional ceremonial collar with ornamental embellishments. The legend BHUTAN SERTUM arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin capitals, while the date 1970 appears in large numerals along the lower field beneath the effigy. The engraver's signature J.H.WASER is incised discreetly in the lower right field. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicts the Bhutanese royal emblem in the form of a double-headed mythical creature — the druk (thunder dragon) rendered as a vessel or vase form with two dragon heads flanking a central stupa finial, all set against a plain field. A continuous circular legend in Dzongkha script (Tibetan) surrounds the central device, running along the entire inner periphery, conveying the regnal cycle date and denomination in the traditional Bhutanese style. The overall design is bold and deeply struck, consistent with the medallic quality of the issue. |
