Coins from Bhutan

Bhutan, officially the Kingdom of Bhutan, is a landlocked country located in South Asia, nestled in the eastern Himalayas. It is known for its stunning landscapes, unique culture, and philosophy of Gross National Happiness. The currency of Bhutan is the Bhutanese Ngultrum (BTN), which has been the official currency since 1974 when Bhutan started issuing its own currency. Prior to that, the Indian rupee was used as the de facto currency in Bhutan. Bhutan is renowned for its preserved traditional architecture, colorful festivals, and commitment to environmental conservation, with more than half of its land designated as protected areas.
