| Obverse description | The National Emblem of Bhutan is depicted at centre within a circular field, featuring two dragons in high relief flanking a crossed vajra (thunderbolt) symbol set above a lotus blossom, all rendered in intricate detail. The emblem is enclosed within a raised inner circle, with the mirror-polished field providing a stark contrast to the finely detailed central design. The legend KINGDOM OF BHUTAN arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin characters, while the date 2010 appears to the right and its Dzongkha numeral equivalent ༢༠༡༠ appears to the left. The Dzongkha inscription འབྲུག་ཡུལ།། (Druk Yul, meaning Land of the Thunder Dragon) is engraved in Tibetan script along the lower rim. |
