| Additional information |
Bhutan joined the United Nations in 1971, one of the early acts of the newly formalized Royal Monetary Authority, which had only been established that same year. This 1995 issue commemorates the UN's 50th anniversary — a occasion marked by dozens of national mints worldwide, making it one of the more densely issued commemorative themes of the mid-1990s. Bhutan's participation reflects its careful postcolonial effort to assert presence in international institutions after centuries of deliberate isolation.
KM#83 is a low-circulation commemorative with no significant die varieties on record.
