    This coin tops all as far as the man's hat goes, looks a bit off kilter or maybe even a little quirky but I would never talk against anyone's culture besides, I like his hat! thumbsup.gif Maybe not something I would wear but different strokes is what makes this world a better place for all. :D Here's some quick facts on the coin, it's dated 1975 Bhutan 25 Chetrums coin (KM#40) features a diameter of 18.9 mm, a weight of 2.6 grams, and is composed of copper-nickel, wish it was gold but that would be out of my price range!:smuggrin:

    It is indeed cool looking.

    Curious, and wanting to see photos, I had to Google his "hat".

    It is called The Raven Crown.

    Here's an earlier King of Bhutan, Ugyen Wangchuck, wearing it in 1905.
