Niewielkie himalajskie królestwo Bhutanu nazywane jest "Królestwem Smoka". Zostało założone jako monarchia kapłańska w 1652 roku. Przez wiele lat używało monet z pobliskiego indyjskiego stanu Cooch Behar. Zaczęło bić własne monety około 1790 roku, po tym jak Brytyjska Kompania Wschodnioindyjska zamknęła mennicę Cooch Behar. Niedatowane monety, denominowane jako rupie Deb (1/2), były pierwotnie wykonane z dobrego srebra, jednak do około 1840 r. monety zostały mocno stopione z miedzią. Miedziane rupie Deb były bite do około 1910 roku. Rupia Deb była jedynym nominałem bitym przez Bhutan aż do XX wieku. Chociaż podstawowy projekt pozostał niezmieniony, istnieje wiele odmian, co stanowi fascynujący obszar kolekcjonerski. Automatically translated

The tiny Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan is called the “Dragon Kingdom”. It was established as a priestly monarchy in 1652. For many years it used coins from the nearby Indian state of Cooch Behar. It started to strike its own coins about 1790, after the British East India Company closed the Cooch Behar mint. The undated coins, denominated as Deb (1/2) Rupees, were originally good silver; however by about 1840 the coins became heavily alloyed with copper. The copper Deb Rupees continued to be struck until about 1910. The Deb Rupee was the only denomination struck by Bhutan until the 20th century. Though the basic design remained unchanged, there are numerous varieties, making a fascinating collecting area.
