Bhutan, P30, B219a, 20 Ngultrum 2006

Omschrijving

With the exception of the 1,000-ngultrum denomination, these notes were designed by Giesecke & Devrient and initially printed by Thomas De La Rue. However, in 2013, the production of the 1- and 10-ngultrum notes switched to G&D, and the substrate for these denominations also changed from paper to Louisenthal’s Hybrid, a paper/polymer substrate.

The Punakha Dzong, also known as Pungthang Dewa chhenbi Phodrang (meaning "the palace of great happiness or bliss"), is the administrative centre of Punakha District in Punakha, Bhutan. Constructed by Ngawang Namgval, 1st Zhabdrung Rinpoche, in 1637–38, it is the second oldest and second largest dzong in Bhutan and one of its most majestic structures. The dzong houses the sacred relics of the southern Drukpa Lineage of the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism, including the Rangjung Kharsapani and the sacred remains of Ngawang Namgyal and the tertön Pema Lingpa. Punakha Dzong was the administrative centre and the seat of the Government of Bhutan until 1955, when the capital was moved to Thimphu. It is listed as a tentative site in Bhutan's Tentative List for UNESCO inclusion.
