Bhutan 300 ngultrum Lunar Calendar Year of the Snake proof silver coin 1996

The Bhutan 300 Ngultrum 1996 Year of the Snake Proof Silver Coin from the Lunar Calendar series honors the Snake — a symbol of wisdom, intuition, and transformation. The obverse depicts a stylized snake with geometric patterns coiled in an elegant form, representing balance and insight. Along the rim are the zodiac years associated with this sign: 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, and 2013. Below are the inscriptions YEAR OF THE SNAKE and 300 NGULTRUM. The reverse features Bhutan’s intricate national emblem — two dragons protecting the sacred dorji (vajra) above a lotus blossom, surrounded by clouds and framed by the inscription KINGDOM OF BHUTAN and the year 1996. Struck in proof silver, this coin reflects Bhutan’s harmony of spiritual artistry and refined numismatic design — a fitting tribute to the Snake’s intelligence and mystique.
