Artistic Crowing Rooster in the Clouds Design

The idea of a "crowing rooster among the clouds" inspired the obverse image. There, the proud bird prepares to belt out its famous 'cock-a-doodle-doo.' Its chest is puffed up and thrust out, and its tall crest and raised tail make it appear large and powerful. "YEAR OF THE ROOSTER" arches along the rim at the top, while the face value, weight and purity are inscribed at the bottom.

The Thimphu Chorten, which is formally known as the National Memorial Chorten, serves as the design on the reverse. The stunning gold and white structure stands out against the virtually cloudless blue sky and the deep green of the trees in the background. The country of issue, "KINGDOM OF BHUTAN," and date, "2017," are inscribed along the rim.
