| Additional information |
Part of the long-running Chinese Minorities series, this issue documents the Naadam festival tradition of Mongolia's Mongol ethnic minority — specifically the Mongolian wrestling form known as Bökh, central to Naadam alongside horsemanship and archery. The series itself ran from 1992 through the early 2000s, with each year pairing a denomination with a specific ethnic group and cultural practice from among China's 55 officially recognized minority nationalities.
Mintages for individual issues in this series were typically modest, and secondary market pricing has diverged sharply across subjects — demand tracking cultural specificity rather than precious metal content.
