Hi all. This is a fake coin. Bhutan will not under any present circumstances make any coin honoring some Chinese leader. Sorry about that. The gold might be real but it is not minted in Bhutan or for Bhutan.

You should do a bit more research before making such a silly statement without any proof to back it up.
This is a commemorative coin most probably minted outside your country by a mint who paid a royalty for the right to issue it.
Quality of the coin suggests that it is not minted in Bhutan; that these coins would be issued in small numbers and marketed for international collectors at a premium
Another site has the same obverse and reverse in a 250 Ngultrum silver coin and I also have that particular silver coin as well.
