Hint--it was one of the most isolationist countries in the world. I've never seen this coin before, and it looks rather old (before their borders opened up)--great find!

Well, I'd call Bhutan isolated by geography, not isolationist by ideology. It's a 1 pice coin, undated, but we know they were struck from 1950 to 1955.
