| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a single coiled druk (thunder dragon) rendered in the traditional Bhutanese artistic style, its sinuous body curling to fill the circular inner field amid swirling clouds and flame motifs, with the dragon's head prominently displayed facing the viewer. A decorative scroll cartouche at the base of the design frames the denomination legend NU. 100. The legend 2024 YEAR OF THE DRAGON arcs along the upper border, with small dot ornaments flanking the text at either side. Below the denomination, the fineness inscription 1/2 OZ 999 FINE SILVER appears in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Bhutan's Royal Monetary Authority has issued dragon-themed collector pieces on a recurring basis, timed to the Tibetan-influenced lunisolar calendar's twelve-year cycle. 2024 is the Year of the Wood Dragon — a designation that occurs only once every sixty years, combining the twelve animal signs with the five elemental cycles. That specificity drives collector demand far beyond a standard lunar year issue.
The RMA has no physical mint of its own; production is contracted to foreign facilities, most commonly in Austria or South Korea.
