Mongolia experienced a total solar eclipse on March 9, 1997, visible across a narrow corridor of its territory — one of the few instances where a nation issued a commemorative coin for an astronomical event that was directly and locally observable at the time of issue. The Bank of Mongolia moved quickly enough that the coin reached collectors before the eclipse itself had faded from public memory.
