Bhutan's Royal Monetary Authority has issued collector gold under its own authority since 1979, but the "Buddhas of the World" series represents a departure from strictly national subjects — each coin in the series depicts a revered Buddha image from a different country. The Korea issue references the broader Mahayana Buddhist tradition shared across East and Southeast Asia, though Bhutan itself follows the Vajrayana school, a distinction that makes the cross-cultural framing of the series somewhat ecumenical by design.
KM#212 is a bullion-weight issue at a full quarter-ounce of .9999 fine gold.
