There is no reason why this coin would be forged.
If you really want a correct determination, please contact Kris.
He is an expert on these coins.

You should know that these coins are hammerd over a long period (1789-1927).
An exact date is not possible.
It also is difficult to find an exact match.
Did you contact Kris?

Did you get reply from Kris????
You should know that these coins are hammered.
When one die was worn, a new was cut, so to find an exact match is rather impossible.

No it is not your coin.
The coin in the link has a swastika

please just wait for a reply from Kris.
These coins exist in so many variations that you have to be expert to find the correct determination
(if it is possible with these coins)....

I did know that the coin is real. There is no reason why these are forged, because their value is not very high.
In the Bhutan coins, there is only 1 coin minted in gold, very rare, so very expensive.
I have also several of these Bhutan coins. I do not worry about the date, because they were minted over a long period.
Here is one of mine (similar):
Period III, c. 1865-1900 (Ma-tam, Che-tam)
Letter Sa on the left of ndra
#150422:
Bhutan, Ma-tam,
KM#7.2, B 32.150, 1865-1900
