Bhutan 300 ngultrum Year of the Tiger Lunar Calendar PR70 PCGS silver coin 1996

The Bhutan 300 Ngultrum “Year of the Tiger” silver coin (1996) honors the Lunar Calendar and the power of the tiger—a symbol of courage, protection, and vitality across Himalayan culture. The obverse shows a bold, stylized tiger with a floral rosette on its chest, framed by a beaded ring and the full sequence of Tiger-cycle years 1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010. Below run the inscriptions “YEAR OF THE TIGER” and “300 NGULTRUM.” The reverse displays Bhutan’s intricate national emblem: a central lotus supporting the Wheel of Dharma and sacred jewels amid swirling cloud patterns, guarded by dragons; around it reads “KINGDOM OF BHUTAN,” with the date 1996 flanking the emblem and a Dzongkha legend below. Struck in .925 silver to brilliant Proof standard and certified PCGS PR70DCAM, this flawless example marries spiritual symbolism with crisp, mirror-like fields. Part of Bhutan’s Lunar series, it’s a desirable, low-issue collector coin that elevates any world or zodiac-themed collection.
