Eight small asterisk ornaments are evenly spaced around the border separating the central device from the outer legend. The Tibetan legend appears at the top of the outer border and the Latin legend 'KINGDOM OF BHUTAN' is inscribed along the lower outer border. |

Bhutan has operated a small but deliberate commemorative program since the early 1970s, frequently issuing coins with no domestic circulation intent — produced entirely for the international collector market. This Senna piece appeared a full decade after his death at Imola on 1 May 1994, part of a broader wave of motorsport commemoratives that flooded the numismatic market through the late 1990s and 2000s as licensing rights to his image were actively managed by the Senna Foundation.
KM# 105 is one of several Bhutanese issues from this period struck to standard one-ounce silver specifications by contracted European mints on behalf of the Royal Monetary Authority.
