Issued to mark the October 2011 marriage of King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and Agyem Yangdon Tobjgay, this note was the Royal Monetary Authority's first commemorative banknote — an unusual step for an issuer that had traditionally kept its currency strictly functional. The print run of over twelve million suggests genuine mass circulation was intended rather than a collector-only release, which was not universally the case with royal wedding notes issued by other central banks at the time.
Security specification is modest for the period — watermark and thread only, without the optically variable or color-shifting elements appearing on Bhutan's standard circulation issues by this date.
