1ST ISSUE: THERAVADA - FOUR FACE BUDDHA OF CAMBODIA

The first coin in this unique series is dedicated to the Four Face Buddha of Cambodia. The obverse features the Bayon Temple in Angkor Thom, which was erected in the 12th century. Its distinctive façade comprises a multitude of serene Buddha faces looking out in all directions, representing Buddha’s all-seeing eye.

On the reverse, The Bumpa, The Great Treasure Vase is depicted in vivid colours. The Bumpa is symbolic of the boundless riches in Buddhist teachings. It also represents longevity, wealth, prosperity and all the goodness in the world.

BUDDHISM

Buddhism is based on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, commonly known as “The Buddha” (the Awakened One). The coin program highlights the spread of the different schools of Buddhism throughout the different regions of the world. In modern times, Buddhism is broadly recognized as comprising of three major branches:

a) Theravada, Teaching of The Elders, remains in Southeast Asia, especially Sri Lanka, Cambodia and Thailand.

b) Mahayana, The Great Vehicle, is widely practised throughout East Asia, especially in China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam and Bhutan.

c) Vajrayana, The Thunderbolt Vehicle, is more prominent in the Himalayan nations of Tibet and Nepal.

There are eight auspicious symbols in Buddhism which can often be found on Buddhism related paraphernalia. The parasol, golden fish, treasure vase, lotus, conch, endless knot, Dharma wheel and victory flag each represent a unique aspect of Buddhist teachings.

COIN DESIGN

This eight coin program celebrates the different schools of Buddhism with each coin paying homage to a renowned Buddha sculpture or a Buddhist monument found in the featured country. Each coin issue also features one of the Eight Auspicious Symbols.

Its unique and unconventional design showcases the Buddhist monument with its name and country of origin inscribed on the obverse. The reverse is a nod to its country of issue, the Kingdom of Bhutan and highlights one of Eight Auspicious Symbols, replacing the traditional national emblem.

This one-of-a-kind coin collection, rich in the history of Buddhism and cultural symbols is definitely a collector’s item.
