The sertum — from the Latin aureus by way of coin designer convention — was introduced as Bhutan's modern gold denomination in the 1960s, intended primarily for international collector markets rather than domestic circulation. The 1979 issue coincides with the early reign of Jigme Singye Wangchuck, who had acceded to the throne in 1972 at age sixteen following his father's sudden death, making him one of the youngest reigning monarchs in the world at the time.
