| Obverse description | Central device depicts the Druk (Thunder Dragon) royal emblem rendered as an ornate ceremonial parasol or chhatra — a traditional Buddhist symbol of sovereignty — surrounded by stylised cloud scrollwork within a decorative cartouche. The legend KINGDOM OF BHUTAN arcs along the upper periphery in Latin script, while the denomination NU. 1000 appears in the lower field. A line of Dzongkha script in Uchen characters runs along the lower rim below the cartouche, and the word DHUG appears to the left of the central device. |

The title contains a quiet error worth noting: the coin is a Bhutanese issue, but "Thailand" appears in the series name because this piece belongs to a broader multi-nation Buddhist World Heritage program, with each participating country's sites featured across the series. Bhutan's inclusion reflects its status as one of the few remaining Vajrayana Buddhist kingdoms. The Royal Monetary Authority has issued collector gold in this weight class — closely matching a quarter-ounce — primarily for the international numismatic market rather than domestic circulation.
