Asia here is only referred to Southern Asia and the rest of Western (Middle East) and Central Asia. I have separated SouthEast Asia and East Asia with different links here.


many of the banknotes posted here do not need descriptions. the designs are beautiful enough for me to add any more details - a picture is worth a thousand words

"no borrowed scans here nor i cut and pasted from other web sites. all notes displaying here are mine"


...Bhutan - 50 Ngultrum Series 2021

འབྲུག་རྒྱལ་ཁབ
Kingdom of Bhutan
 
Royal Monetary Authority of Bhutan, Est.1982
Currency - Ngultrum (BTN)

 
Like most central banks around the world, standard banknotes are not always printed or reprinted in a full set and I believe this is the only odd note issued in 2021. This is the third issue since this 50 ngultrum note was first introduced in 2008.
 
Fifty Ngultrum 
 
Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck

The Wheel of Dharma is an ancient symbol used in Dharmic religions, most preeminently in Buddhism, representing the Buddha's teachings and the path to enlightenment.

The Trongsa Dzong was the historical seat of power for the Wangchuck dynasty and it continues to hold administrative and monastic functions in Bhutan.
