This is the 2012 BU issue with a mintage of 10,000. The 250 Ngultrums Mahabodhi Temple coin, issued by Bhutan in 2012, commemorates the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Mahabodhi Temple, a sacred location where Siddhartha Gautama attained enlightenment and became the Buddha. Struck in .999 silver at the Singapore Mint, this coin features intricate designs that reflect the architectural grandeur of the temple, showcasing its significance in Buddhist heritage and culture. With a mintage of only 10,000 pieces, it appeals to collectors and numismatists due to its limited availability, earning a rarity score of 8 out of 10. The coin not only serves as a tangible connection to Bhutan's rich spiritual history but also stands as a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of modern minting techniques, making it a valuable addition to any collection focused on religious or cultural themes.
