Mongolia's lunar series of the 1990s was produced in very limited quantities for the international collector market, with virtually no domestic circulation — the face value of 10,000 tögrög far exceeded what most Mongolians earned in a month at the time. The 1995 Pig issue falls in the middle of that run, struck to the one-troy-ounce .9999 fine standard that had become the benchmark for bullion-quality commemoratives following the success of the Chinese Gold Panda program.
KM#98 is sometimes confused with concurrent Mongolian lunar issues due to inconsistent catalog cross-referencing between the Krause and Schön systems.
