Bhutan 300 ngultrums Composer Maurice Ravel Playing the Violin silver coin 1993

The 1993 Bhutan 300 Ngultrum silver coin pays tribute to the legendary French composer Maurice Ravel (1875–1937), one of the most influential figures in 20th-century classical music. The obverse features a finely detailed portrait of Ravel, elegantly dressed, with musical staff lines symbolizing his art and creativity. To his right, a ballerina mid-dance and a violinist performing vividly represent the grace and rhythm of his compositions, most notably his world-famous “Boléro.” The inscriptions “MAURICE RAVEL,” the years “1875–1937,” and the denomination “300 NGULTRUM” complete the elegant layout. The reverse presents the national emblem of the Kingdom of Bhutan — two dragons encircling a lotus blossom and the Buddhist wheel of law, flanked by the date “1993” and the inscription “KINGDOM OF BHUTAN” with text in Dzongkha script below. Struck in silver with a stunning prooflike finish, this coin honors Ravel’s artistic legacy and Bhutan’s rich cultural symbolism, merging Western music with Eastern artistry in one harmonious design.
