Comments

NOTE: coin was struck in 1951 and 1954 only. Later strikes have lesser detail.

After a long and good discussion here : https://en.numista.com/forum/topic69939.html, this is the conclusion



Yeshey Dorji: In the following I show what are the differences in the coin of 1951 and 1954. By the way the second coin was struck in 1954 and not 1955.
