Mongolia's commemorative gold program has produced a consistent run of world-figure issues, and this Gandhi piece sits in that broader series. Gandhi was assassinated in January 1948; India's government banned the import of his image on foreign currency and medals for decades, a restriction that had largely eroded by the time issues like this entered the market.
