1000 Tögrög Mongolian National Olympic Committee

Mongolia's National Olympic Committee coins from the mid-1990s were issued partly as a fundraising mechanism ahead of the Atlanta 1996 Games, at a time when Mongolian athletics operated on an extraordinarily lean budget following the collapse of Soviet subsidy. The country had competed under Soviet-aligned structures for decades; by 1995 it was financing its own Olympic program for only the third or fourth time as a genuinely independent body.

Schön 165 is a relatively low-mintage commemorative with limited secondary market depth outside German-speaking collector circles, where Schön catalog coverage drives most of the demand for Mongolian silver issues of this period.
