| Additional information |
Bhutan's lunar series coins are struck under the authority of the Royal Monetary Authority, established in 1982 as the kingdom's central bank — relatively late for a sovereign issuing institution. The Year of the Rabbit holds particular significance in Bhutanese Buddhism, associated with the Buddha's birth year in traditional Tibetan-influenced calendrical reckoning, which gives these issues a domestic religious resonance that purely commercial bullion programs rarely carry.
