| Additional information |
Bhutan's Royal Monetary Authority issued this coin during the reign of Jigme Singye Wangchuck, the fourth Druk Gyalpo, who had ascended the throne in 1972 at age sixteen following his father's sudden death. By 1999, Bhutan was navigating a carefully managed modernization — the country had only introduced television and the internet that same year, both legalized simultaneously in a single royal decree.
