Bhutan 300 ngultrums Year of the Monkey proof silver coin 1996

The Bhutan 300 Ngultrums “Year of the Monkey” proof silver coin 1996 is a dazzling tribute to the Chinese Lunar Calendar, honoring the clever and energetic spirit of the Monkey. The obverse displays a stylized depiction of a monkey sitting gracefully, holding a small object in its hand — a symbol of curiosity and intelligence. Around the rim are all the Monkey years: 1908, 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, and 2004, with the inscriptions “YEAR OF THE MONKEY” and “300 NGULTRUM.” The reverse features the national emblem of Bhutan — two dragons encircling a lotus and a double thunderbolt (dorje), representing the balance between spiritual and worldly power. The inscriptions “KINGDOM OF BHUTAN” and the date “1996” complete the design. Struck in fine silver with proof quality, this coin harmoniously unites the artistry of Bhutanese symbolism and the mysticism of the Zodiac. A perfect choice for collectors of lunar, oriental, and mythological themes.
