Additional information

Part of a long-running Mongolian lunar series issued for foreign collector markets, this piece dates to a period when the Bank of Mongolia was aggressively expanding its commemorative program — largely as a hard currency revenue stream rather than for domestic circulation. Silver-plated copper-nickel was the practical choice for keeping retail prices accessible while maintaining the visual appeal demanded by the series.
