| Additional information |
Issued the year after Castro's death in November 2016, this Mongolian commemorative belongs to a long-running program through which the Bank of Mongolia has licensed foreign-themed issues — effectively selling collectibles to the international numismatic market rather than producing currency intended for domestic circulation. Mongolia has no particular historical or diplomatic tie to Cuba that would explain the subject; the choice was driven by the commercial appeal of Castro's death-year notoriety among collector audiences worldwide.
