Bhutan 300 ngultrums Year of the Rooster proof silver coin 1996

The Bhutan 300 Ngultrums “Year of the Rooster” proof silver coin 1996 celebrates one of the most vivid symbols of the Chinese Lunar Calendar — the Rooster, embodying confidence, vigilance, and hard work. On the obverse, a stylized rooster with ornate floral patterns on its body and wings stands proudly within a smooth mirrored field. Along the rim are the Rooster years — 1909, 1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, and 2005 — with inscriptions “YEAR OF THE ROOSTER” and “300 NGULTRUM.” The reverse features the national emblem of Bhutan: two dragons entwined around a lotus and a double thunderbolt (dorje), symbolizing the harmony of spiritual and temporal authority. The legend “KINGDOM OF BHUTAN” and the year “1996” are finely struck around the outer edge. Minted in proof quality from fine silver, this coin unites the artistic grace of Bhutanese tradition with the mysticism of the Eastern zodiac, making it a remarkable collector’s piece.
