Double Dragon, with the BHUTAN
MILLENNIUM DRAGON COIN,

Exclusive Lunar Series under the

of Bhutan.
The Bhutan Millennium

of Arms, the country's national
emblem in its obverse side. The
Bhutan Coat of Arms is composed
of a double diamond-thunderbolt
placed above a lotus, surmounted
by a jewel and framed by two
dragons. The thunderbolt
represents the harmony between
secular and religious powers, which
results from the Buddhist religion.
Bhutanese people believe
that the millennium

the Dragon signifies the
strength of lasting success
and prosperity. The
Dragon, in Bhutanese
culture, is the symbol of
leadership, nobility, luck,
