| Obverse description | Left-facing effigy of King Jigme Singye Wangchuck, depicted as a young ruler wearing an ornate traditional Bhutanese crown (raven crown) adorned with intricate decorative motifs and surmounted by a raven head finial. The truncation is plain and the portrait is rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. A Dzongkha legend arcs around the upper periphery, with additional Dzongkha inscriptions flanking the effigy on both sides. The date 1979 appears in Arabic numerals in the lower exergue, flanked by two small dots. |
