| Additional information |
Mongolia's lunar series coins are struck in limited collector quantities and issued through the Bank of Mongolia, which has partnered with European mints — most frequently Kremnica in Slovakia — for much of its modern commemorative output. The 2017 rooster year falls within the standard twelve-year lunar cycle, this particular issue timed to coincide with the Chinese New Year calendar alignment recognized across East and Central Asia.
At 0.5 grams of .9999 fine gold, the practical bullion value is minimal. These exist almost entirely as gifts and collectibles within the gifting traditions surrounding Tsagaan Sar.
