| Additional information |
Mongolia experienced a total solar eclipse on March 9, 1997, visible across a narrow corridor of Siberia and northern Mongolia. The coin was issued to commemorate this event, placing Mongolia among a small group of nations that have documented astronomical phenomena through numismatic issues in the late 20th century. The aluminium bronze composition was a practical choice for a commemorative that was never intended for heavy circulation.
