1000 Tögrög Tiger

Mongolia issued several small-denomination gold pieces in the late 1990s under a broader wildlife and cultural series, with the Tiger coin appearing as part of a coordinated push to attract collector markets in East Asia — where tiger imagery carries particular commercial weight. The 1999 date places it squarely in the post-Soviet transition period, when the Bank of Mongolia was aggressively expanding its numismatic program as a hard-currency revenue stream.

The multiple KM references suggest this type was catalogued under more than one number across Krause editions, a not uncommon problem with Mongolian issues of this era where documentation lagged behind mintage.
